Marissa Calhoun sits in front of the lagoon, a beach-like swimming hole nestled Cairns, Australia's foreshore. Tonight the lagoon is hers and hers alone ... or is it? A tall figure steps out from behind the tree, his face cloaked beneath a dark hoodie. His footsteps slap against the pavement, fast and hard. Twenty feet, then fifteen, then ten. Instinct kicks in and Marissa breaks into a sprint, but she's too late. His hand claws into the back of her head. Grabbing a fistful of her hair, he plunges her face into the water.  Who is Marissa's vicious attacker? And why does he want her dead? If you love a great mystery with a surprising twist, you'll enjoy Deadly Sins: Lust.  Readers are saying: "e;Full of surprises!"e;  "e;Many twists and turns."e;  "e;Kept my attention the entire time."e; New to Sloane Monroe?
