description: When her life implodes, Professor Abigail Youngblood turns her back on the death, and destruction, returning to the one place where peace and serenity still abide. Home… to Abundance, New York, a quaint village tucked away in the picturesque Hudson Valley. Yet, sleepy Abundance is not as Abby remembers it, and neither is her Aunt Catherine’s estate, now crumbling from years of neglect. The old place is falling apart, and a team of archeological students from NYU have dug up skeletal remains on the grounds of the Youngblood estate. Yet, even more disturbing is Aunt Catherine’s new tenant, insanely sexy, burned-out horror novelist Matthew Wilde Monroe, a man who knows everything there is to know about murder.Abby is in no position to allow the Southern bad-boy within pouncing distance. Matt’s got all the right stuff, and he’s an old hand at the art of seduction… so how’s even an anal-retentive over-achiever like Abby supposed to resist? Then, a young woman is murdered, and Matt becomes a person of interest in the investigation. As the body count rises, and the investigation intensifies, so does Abby’s attraction for the sexy Southerner. He’s dark, and dangerous, and stubbornly secretive about his past… but is he a murderer? Drawn into the mystery swirling around him, Abby is unaware that someone is watching her… wanting her… waiting to relive his twisted fantasy of torture and death… with Abby as his next victim.AS NIGHT FALLS is the first book in the Hudson Valley Romantic Suspense Series.
