This is book 4 of 4 in the Bishop Security Series.
It is important to note that each book can be read as a standalone. They have overlapping characters and are set in the same world but can easily be read separately. A freelance reporter is murdered in Philadelphia.
A tech billionaire is poisoned in a Tampa restaurant.
Are these seemingly random killings connected?
Former CIA officer Finn McIntyre is out of options. After being captured and tortured on a SEAL mission, he was left with a scarred face and a mountain of rage. Years of working undercover in a drug cartel have only augmented his ruthlessness and isolation. His best friends at Bishop Security have all but given up on him, and the one woman—the only woman—he has ever loved has let him go. Finn has to get his head straight or end up dead.
With no one to turn to and nowhere to go, Finn takes off and finds himself in the strange town of Purgatory, West Virginia. The whistlestop is haunted and entrancing, and soon Finn finds himself with a home rehab project, an older neighbor in need of his help, a judgmental wolf, and a loitering little boy. Purgatory is a town full of secrets, and Finn is determined to unravel them while exorcising his own demons.
Charlotte Devlin—Twitch to those who know her—fell in love with Finn seven years ago. Before he was captured, before he became an angry, heartless man, before he discarded her like a regrettable one-night stand. If she hadn’t welcomed him into her bed that final time, maybe she could forget about him. Unfortunately, the baby growing inside of her makes that impossible.
To make matters worse, Twitch can’t stop the constant anxious feeling that she is being watched. When it becomes clear that someone is trying to harm her—and that the suspect is much more than an obsessed stalker—Twitch is forced to turn to the one man who can help her uncover what is really going on and keep her safe.
Finn and Charlotte finally realize their love was meant to be, but can they stop a madman threatening to take it all away?

Review:
I found out that this was a book four. I reached out to the author to find out if the books need to be read in order. I wasn’t confident that I would be able to finish all four books before this blog. I was assured that I could read them all as standalone. I decided to read them all anyways. With some reluctance. I won’t lie. I read all four books in less than a week. I agree that they don’t have to be read in order. I do fully recommend it anyway. It enhances each story in my opinion. I knew I would love these books just by the covers. I didn’t realize how much until I dove in. I’ve already recommended this series to somebody I think will enjoy them very much. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! Kind of wish that I had narration skills so I could offer to narrate these beauties so they could enter the audiobook world!
