Summary

A deadly game of cat and mouse—and no one is safe

 
Social worker Billy Jo McCabe is used to dealing with difficult situations, but nothing could prepare her for what happens the night she receives a late call about a child in distress. Alone and with a nearly dead phone, she arrives at a deserted location—only to realize too late that she’s walked straight into a trap.

 
When Billy Jo doesn’t show up for work the next day, Detective Mark Friessen is called in to search for her. As he retraces her steps, he uncovers unsettling clues that lead him to believe this isn’t just about Billy Jo. Someone has orchestrated her abduction with a far more sinister goal—and Mark might be the true target.

 
In The Trap, bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart delivers a heart-pounding mystery where trust is scarce, danger lurks in the shadows, and a rescue mission turns into a chilling game of survival.
Available since: 06/01/2021.
Print length: 185 pages.

    Welcome to Portlock: where the dead don’t always stay that way. 
When a human inspector drops dead in the Chrome Mine, things get messy fast. The dwarves are up in arms, swearing the mine is cursed, and when a second body turns up—this time without its head—all fingers point to the local hag. 
But I’ve met Matilda. She’s terrifying, sure, but she doesn’t seem like the elaborate crime scene type. More of a ‘crush you under a landslide’ kind of gal. Still, with the dwarves baying for blood and a murderer on the loose, I need answers before this case spirals out of control. 
Tracking killers is hard enough without worrying about a cryptid monster lurking beyond the town’s magical barrier, my four-legged best friend struggling with his humanity, and my infuriatingly attractive vampire mate trying to keep me out of trouble (good luck with that, Connor). 
With a town full of suspects and secrets, I’ll have to dig deep to unearth the truth. Let’s hope I don’t end up buried—undead. 
Dive into this fast-paced urban fantasy series if you love mystery, humour, found family, and a slow-burn romance.
