Killer Remains (Skeleton Island Series Book 2)

About this book

Dr. Xanthe Lazos is a dedicated marine biologist on a mission to save the endangered orcas of Skeleton Island. Her peaceful life is upended by Blaine Slater, a self-made millionaire whose proposed luxury resort threatens the very ecosystem she has sworn to protect. They are natural adversaries, clashing over their opposing values and conflicting goals. Xanthe makes it clear she despises everything Blaine stands for, and their initial encounters are defined by intense friction and mutual hostility. However, the trope of enemies-to-lovers takes a dangerous turn when Xanthe’s environmental advocacy makes her the target of a lethal threat. As the danger escalates, the man she once labeled her nemesis becomes her only shield. Blaine, unexpectedly drawn to Xanthe’s passion and integrity, finds himself forced to confront his own biases. As they are thrust into a high-stakes fight for survival, they must navigate a brewing attraction that neither of them anticipated. In the heart of the rugged Skeleton Island coastline, Xanthe and Blaine are forced to set aside their differences to outsmart a common enemy. Amidst the pulse-pounding suspense, they discover that sometimes the most unlikely allies make the strongest partners—both in the line of duty and in matters of the heart.
