Serial Games — K. Victoria Chase

Maggie Watson's reputation as a top profiler is put on the line when Marshal Brandon Worth walks into her office with the news that John Michael Burrows, the man at the center of the one case that haunts her the most, has escaped federal custody. Profiling after escape is something Maggie has never done; Burrows could be anywhere doing anything.

Even the best tracker on the east coast needs a little help once in awhile, and Brandon isn't about to pass on Maggie's profiling expertise. Burrows' reputation precedes him, and with the added media scrutiny, Brandon needs no distraction in the hunt -- least of all from a beautiful profiler who's stirred something in him he thought died long ago.

They must work together to catch a serial murderer, and the closer they get to Burrows, the more their hearts become involved. While insecurities and bitterness threaten a budding relationship between Maggie and Brandon, an elusive killer terrorizes a small Virginia county with a game he plans on winning.
