For two FBI agents with a past, love becomes a matter of life and death in the new Hidden Sins novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert.
Maggie Gaines used to be an FBI agent—top of her class and one of the bright, up-and-coming stars—until she spectacularly fell apart during her first high-profile case. That was eight years ago. Now she’s a ranger at Glacier National Park, and she’s found some measure of peace. But when the body of a murdered woman is discovered, she must finally put the past behind her and work with the one man she thought she’d never see again.
For months, Vic Sutherland has been hunting a killer who’s been targeting unsuspecting hikers in national parks—and now the predator has come to Glacier. Vic knows the case will bring him face-to-face with his former partner, yet nothing can prepare him for seeing Maggie again after all these years, or for the memories of passion it stirs in both of them.
As the investigation brings them closer together—and closer to the killer—Maggie and Vic fear they have only each other to trust. But even that might not be enough to make it out of Glacier alive.

Grounds Excerpt

Katee Robert
Vic
thought he was prepared. He wasn’t the type of man to spend too much effort
worrying about what could possibly happen—it made more sense to deal with what did happen. He knew seeing Maggie again
after all this time would be a shock, but they’d been partners for twelve
months at best. There was no reason to think he couldn’t roll with this
development the same way he rolled with every other.
Then
he arrived at Goat Haunt ranger station. He followed Wyatt out of the chopper,
using a hand to shield his face from the wind the blades created. The ranger
station was set against Upper Waterton Lake, and with the mountains in the
background, it could have been a scene out of a painting.
All
of that paled in comparison to Maggie.
She
looked good. Better than good. During her time as his partner, she’d been too
thin, running on too little sleep and too much coffee, and her health had
suffered as a result. Obviously being a park ranger agreed with her. The
unfortunate uniform did nothing to hide how her curves had filled out, her body
honed from the many hours of hauling around a pack similar to the one he now
carried. Her hair was longer, too, the dark locks pulled back into a braid that
hit just past her shoulders.
But
she was still Maggie.
Even
in the bright sunlight, he could see the way her dark eyes flashed as her shock
wore off. And her nose, the only feature of hers that could never be termed pretty, was the same—long and slightly
crooked from where it’d been broken in the FBI academy.
Maggie
shook off her paralysis faster than he did. She frowned. “What are you doing
here, Vic?”
“Agent
Sutherland’s here for the murder.” Wyatt stepped forward, breaking what remained
of the spell cast between them.
Rationally,
Vic knew it had lasted seconds at most, but it felt like a small eternity. He
struggled to put the past in the appropriate box to deal with when they weren’t
on a case. When we aren’t on a case, I’ll
leave . . . He shut the thought down. He had a duty to the
victims, and letting himself get distracted by Maggie wasn’t going to find the
unsub.
Even
if Maggie was a bright, shining star in the midst of darkness.
He
moved closer and slid off his pack. “Where’s the best place to talk?”
For a
second, it looked like Maggie would pepper him with more questions, but she
finally nodded. “This way.”
Praise for The Hidden Sins Series
“…a captivating read, made all the more rewarding when good triumphs.” —Washington Post
“Robert shows off her impressive versatility in this fast-paced and inventive new Hidden Sins series. The small-town setting is a masterful blend of quaint and oppressive, which ratchets the menace and thrill factor. The protagonists carry the full weight of their pasts with them, making their growing relationship as compelling as the mystery element in The Devil’s Daughter. With plenty of twists and betrayals, this is a book that is sure to earn Robert a wealth of new fans.” —RT Book Reviews
Other Books in the Hidden Sin Series
THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa’s knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.
