Sammy''s sixth sense tells him that this sadistic killer, aptly named the Scalp Collector by the press, hasn''t finished his murderous rampage yet. It''s just a matter of time before he takes the life of another innocent girl. Determined to put an end to the senseless slaughter as quickly as possible, Sammy relentlessly follows the bizarre pattern of clues that begin to emerge in the aftermath of the crime. It isn''t long before he realizes that the prime suspect in his murder investigation is an intimate acquaintance of his. Will Sammy act on his suspicions in time to save the next victim, and himself?

It''s more than just the fire in his loins that the dark-haired beauty arouses. The vulnerable look that he sees in Lilah''s eyes captivates his heart. Renault gets the sense that Lilah knows as much as there is to know about suffering as he does, maybe even more. At last, he has found a kindred spirit, the remedy for his crippling loneliness. He wants her to be his and his alone, body and soul. Forever. But the harder he tries to break through her icy exterior, the more she resists. He begins to wonder if he was wrong about her. Maybe it isn''t his affection that she seeks, but only the contents of his fat purse. Lilah is instantly drawn to the tall, enigmatic stranger standing at the bottom of Madame Cheney''s bordello stairs.

But Lilah has a secret to guard, and falling in love with Renault is a luxury she can''t afford to indulge in. She must do everything in her power to drive Renault away before his fiery embrace loosens her tongue. Will Renault discover Lilah''s secret before it destroys them both?
