"Katee Robert has definitely picked up the romantic
suspense genre and made it her bitch. I can’t wait to see what we get next.
Given some of the books I see she’s been using for research, I know it’s going
to be frightening and amazing at the same time."—Goodreads Review

Synopsis:
For two FBI agents
with a past, love becomes a matter of life and death in the new Hidden Sins
novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Katee Robert.
Maggie Gaines used to
be an FBI agent—top of her class and one of the bright, up-and-coming
stars—until she spectacularly fell apart during her first high-profile case.
That was eight years ago. Now she’s a ranger at Glacier National Park, and
she’s found some measure of peace. But when the body of a murdered woman is
discovered, she must finally put the past behind her and work with the one man
she thought she’d never see again.
For months, Vic
Sutherland has been hunting a killer who’s been targeting unsuspecting hikers
in national parks—and now the predator has come to Glacier. Vic knows the case
will bring him face-to-face with his former partner, yet nothing can prepare
him for seeing Maggie again after all these years, or for the memories of
passion it stirs in both of them.
As the investigation
brings them closer together—and closer to the killer—Maggie and Vic fear they
have only each other to trust. But even that might not be enough to make it out
of Glacier alive.

The Hunting Grounds Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Katee Robert
Vic thought he was
prepared. He wasn’t the type of man to spend too much effort worrying about
what could possibly happen—it made more sense to deal with what did happen. He knew seeing Maggie again
after all this time would be a shock, but they’d been partners for twelve
months at best. There was no reason to think he couldn’t roll with this
development the same way he rolled with every other.
Then he arrived at
Goat Haunt ranger station. He followed Wyatt out of the chopper, using a hand
to shield his face from the wind the blades created. The ranger station was set
against Upper Waterton Lake, and with the mountains in the background, it could
have been a scene out of a painting.
All of that paled
in comparison to Maggie.
She looked good.
Better than good. During her time as his partner, she’d been too thin, running
on too little sleep and too much coffee, and her health had suffered as a
result. Obviously being a park ranger agreed with her. The unfortunate uniform
did nothing to hide how her curves had filled out, her body honed from the many
hours of hauling around a pack similar to the one he now carried. Her hair was
longer, too, the dark locks pulled back into a braid that hit just past her
shoulders.
But she was still
Maggie.
Even in the bright
sunlight, he could see the way her dark eyes flashed as her shock wore off. And
her nose, the only feature of hers that could never be termed pretty, was the same—long and slightly
crooked from where it’d been broken in the FBI academy.
Maggie shook off
her paralysis faster than he did. She frowned. “What are you doing here, Vic?”
“Agent
Sutherland’s here for the murder.” Wyatt stepped forward, breaking what remained
of the spell cast between them.
Rationally, Vic
knew it had lasted seconds at most, but it felt like a small eternity. He
struggled to put the past in the appropriate box to deal with when they weren’t
on a case. When we aren’t on a case, I’ll
leave . . . He shut the thought down. He had a duty to the
victims, and letting himself get distracted by Maggie wasn’t going to find the
unsub.
Even if Maggie was
a bright, shining star in the midst of darkness.
He moved closer
and slid off his pack. “Where’s the best place to talk?”
For a second, it
looked like Maggie would pepper him with more questions, but she finally
nodded. “This way.”
Praise
for The Hidden Sins Series
“…a captivating read, made all the more rewarding when good triumphs.” —Washington
Post
“Robert
shows off her impressive versatility in this fast-paced and inventive new
Hidden Sins series. The small-town setting is a masterful blend of quaint and
oppressive, which ratchets the menace and thrill factor. The protagonists carry
the full weight of their pasts with them, making their growing relationship as
compelling as the mystery element in The Devil’s Daughter. With
plenty of twists and betrayals, this is a book that is sure to earn Robert a
wealth of new fans.” —RT Book Reviews

About Katee Robert
New
York Times and USA
TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her
grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and
RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the
right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing
sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary
games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and
planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
