About this eBook

Step into my web…and you’ll never get out.

Chloe Hastings doesn’t like rules, and she doesn’t exactly play well with others. But she does have one amazing talent—she can get into the mind of killers like no one else. A police consultant and profiler, Chloe is definitely not like anyone that Joel Landry has ever encountered. From the moment they meet—in the middle of a bank robbery—she throws him off balance and pulls him under spell. She seems to have no fear, she plots constantly, and…Joel quickly finds himself trapped in her web.

She needs a new partner…and he’s just the man for the job.

There’s a sadistic killer hunting in the streets of New Orleans, and Chloe plans to catch him. First, though she needs a partner she can trust, and she’s decided that Dr. Joel Landry is the best fit for the job. Sure, he has a dark past. The doctor was attacked by a serial killer, but Joel survived while his attacker did not. Now the ruggedly handsome doctor has turned to the shadows. He’s learned how to hunt, how to fight, how to kill in a thousand brutal ways—in short, he’s acquired all of the skills that Chloe absolutely adores in a man.

He’s exactly what she wants. She could become the only thing he needs.

Together, they should be a perfect fit. She knows the minds of criminals better than anyone else, and Joel can protect her from any threat that comes their way. They’ll have one hell of a time tracking down the bad guys, provided Chloe and Joel don’t kill each other first. Another unanticipated twist for the new partners? Their attraction to each other is explosive, their desire uncontrollable. One reckless kiss seals their fate, and their need won’t be denied. And neither will the killer who waits for his moment to attack.

Once you step into a spider’s web, there is no going back.

Author’s Note: Chloe Hastings always has a plan in play. Her investigations are unusual, her friends are generally on the shady side, and her social skills? Well, those are pretty much non-existent. But Chloe solves every case that crosses her path, and she never, ever backs down. When she teams up with her new partner, all bets are off. Joel is gorgeous, sinful, and about to break through every wall that Chloe possesses. He’ll fight for her, she’ll fight for him, and the criminals in their path had better get ready. There is a new crime-solving team in town.

Oh my gosh! I’m already addicted to this new series and this is just the first book!!! Chloe is one of the most unique heroines I’ve read, and I’ve read a few originals lately, and I’m loving what I hope is the new trend. She has an ability that has an eerie paranormal feel to it and that had me holding my breath to find out what her whole story was. While she might not physically be able to keep up with the big guys, holy heck, was she more than capable of beating them at the mind games. Joel was wounded in a way that I never expected, especially for a hero, and it set him up to be the perfect counter point to Chloe. With all the trademark Eden characteristics for an alpha hero to go along with his insecurities, I first laughed at his initial response to Chloe and then fell in love with him as he began to be pulled into her world. Step Into My Web is one action packed adventure filled with mystery, suspense and drama that kept me turning the pages, going backwards to reread what I had just read (because it was just that good) and anxiously trying to figure it out before the end. I couldn’t. This has such an original plot with characters that kept me engaged from the first page and an ending that, I hope, gives us a promise of more to come. While I’d love for each one of Chloe’s cohorts to have their own story, I’d also love to have more of her and Joel as well. Romantic suspense just doesn’t get any better than this!

I knew from the first page this book was going to be darker and more intense than usual from Ms. Eden. Chloe Hastings is unique. She sees everything differently from other people. Not like any female lead we’ve see before. “Death and moonlight.” Whispered. Said almost tenderly. “That’s what she is. “Are you playing some game with that guy?” She turned to him, and her smile made his heart ice. “You know better than that, detective. I don’t play games.” Hell. “What are you planning?” “Why don’t you just wait and see? Surprises can be fun.” “Not when those surprises involve you.” He cranked the car. “Your surprises are pure hell.” Dr.Joel Landry is damaged. A serial killer changed his life. “Beauty is subjective. What one person thinks is a treasure, another thinks is trash.” “You hit my life like a hurricane. Spinning and storming and I didn’t know what to do or think. I just got bits and pieces of you and I tried to force all of them to make sense.” This is a crazy twisted start to a new series by this amazing author. It kept me guessing until the shocking ending. Definitely didn’t see that coming.
