  **Don’t miss the heart-pounding prequel novella to bestselling author Cynthia
  Eden’s new Killer Instinct series**
  
  
  When untried FBI profiler Samantha Dark is face-to-face with a killer, there’s
  no room for fear. Her best weapon is her instincts. Those same dark impulses
  that allow her to get inside the mind of a murderer, to locate victims—or to
  pull the trigger before she’s next. She can’t afford to have those instincts
  clouded by anything...especially her far-too-sexy new partner.
  
  
  Former SEAL Blake Gamble plays everything by the book. Except, of course, when
  it comes to the increasingly simmering attraction between them. But when a
  vengeful serial killer targets them both, Samantha once again reaches into the
  sinister, shadowed part of herself. Even as she begins to fear that the only
  way to catch this killer is to _become_ one...
  
  
  **Look for** **After the Dark** **, the first in the Killer Instinct series,
