Killer Remains (Skeleton Island Series)

By Kaylea Cross

It started out as hate at first sight.
As Skeleton Island's resident cetacean expert, Dr. Xanthe Lazos is dedicated to saving the critically endangered Southern Resident Orca population. The latest threat to the island's fragile ecosystem comes in the form of a proposed luxury oceanfront resort, and a self-made millionaire behind it who becomes her nemesis. But fate keeps pushing them together, forcing her to view him in a different light. Except her work has made her a target. When the looming threat against her ignites, the man she swore to hate steps up to protect her.

Now they have to rely on each other to stay alive.
Blaine Slater never expected to fall for a woman like Xanthe. She's done everything in her power to defeat his current project and made it clear she loathes everything he stands for. They're polar opposites in almost every way, yet he's never been this drawn to anyone, even as she forces him to open his eyes and rethink his own biases. When someone tries to kill her, he'll stop at nothing to keep her safe. But it's not just her in the crosshairs. They soon find themselves trapped in a fight for their lives while battling feelings neither of them ever saw coming.
