Deliverance from Evil — Melanie Atkins

Tessa Doucet is studying mortuary science because the dead can't hurt her. Then a monster from her past turns up on her embalming table, forcing her to confront the demon she'd thought she'd put to rest.

Flummoxed by the cold case Tessa brings to light, Detective Cash Starkey finds himself falling for her, even though he'd sworn to keep his distance. He doesn't want a relationship, not now, and certainly not with a woman running from her past.

Yet when a man who has haunted Tessa since childhood threatens her life, he runs into the fray instead of away from it, and together they defeat demon and put her past to rest once and for all.
