Loved this story!  We start in New York City for a glimpse at the heroine's (Catalina) past.  Fast forward one year later and move to Eureka, Montana and we meet our hero (former Detective Colt).  Colt has been locked away for 5 years in his rustic mountain cabin and is living off the land.  He moved to the mountain after investigating the first four victims of a serial killer (all who look like Colt's fiancé - dark hair, light eyes - the first victim).When victim five is found by Cat Rogers, a new resident of Eureka, Colt comes down from the mountain looking like a dirty hippie.  After five years alone Colt is very attracted to Cat and after he showers and she gives him an old fashioned shave she can't believe her eyes.  Standing in front of her is a hulk of a handsome man whose muscles cannot be contained by the shirts left behind at his grandmothers house.Since Eureka is a small town, 2,000 residents at the highest, everyone knows each other - so who is the serial killer?  And who is Cat Rogers -- she is a white blonde woman with brown eyes, yet her accent and references to the past have Colt questioning who she really is.  He is usually not attracted to blondes...About half way in I had I narrowed down to two potential killers, but both are hard to believe.  After victim six is found, Colt and Cat retreat to a ranger station for his two day vacation.  Of course while they are gone, victim seven turns up.  Now the author really has me on the edge of my chair.  When she writes: "But two days would be all they could have, even if it wasn't nearly enough."  Now I'm starting to wonder if the serial killer is going to go after Cat (and succeed)!  You have to read the book to find out who did it and who lives, check it out!
