Only Fear

Fear: the most primal of human emotions, and evil’s most powerful weapon.

Dr. Maggie Levine chose a profession where she could help people. However, after a violent incident with a psychiatric patient leaves her scarred and vulnerable, she prefers keeping a safe distance. Her job as a radio talk show host gives her the opportunity to help while providing a sense of security—until one of her callers begins stalking her. 

Former Secret Service Agent Ethan Townsend found his niche as a personal security expert who protects people from the monsters of the world. Employed by the Society for the Study of the Aberrant Mind (SSAM), he can use his skills to help clients, and to bring violent repeat offenders to justice. When Maggie becomes his next assignment, the stakes will be the highest he’s ever faced, especially since he’s falling for her.

When Maggie’s stalker turns to murder to gain her attention, he makes it clear he’s intent on teaching her a lesson. Will Ethan’s skills be enough to protect Maggie from a killer who thrives on other people’s fear?
