At 16, Cassidy Buchanan is a tomboy who loves her horses,
tolerates her older sister, Angie, and pretty much takes
for granted the cushy life her father provides for her. But
one day her father hires Brig McKenzie to break her new
foal and her world gets turned upside down.
At 19, Brig McKenzie is a rebel, a womanizer and the town
troublemaker. Brig's father left shortly after he was born
and his mother is the town nutcase, claiming to be psychic.
Something in his life has got to change and the Buchanan
sisters, one who wants his body and the other who wants his
heart, are sure to force some differences his way.
When Angie is killed in a fire, Brig is the last person to
see her alive and the prime suspect. Cassidy, knowing he
had nothing to do with her sister's death, helps him
escape, never to hear from him again.
Seventeen years later, another fire rages through the
peaceful town, nearly taking the life of Cassidy's husband,
Chase, Brig's older brother, and another, unknown man.
Their marriage on the rocks before the fire, Cassidy feels
she must set her feelings aside and stay to help Chase
recover from his injuries.
Cassidy wants to investigate the fire to find out who set
it and why and if it has any connection to the fire that
killed her sister years ago. She needs to find out who
would want to do such damage. In her mind, her first love,
Brig, is the key, if only she can track him down.
Meanwhile, an angry killer is on the loose.
I highly recommend FINAL SCREAM, which was previously
published under the title Intimacies. Jackson has
rewritten it extensively, thus the new title and packaging.
I don't want to give anything away because it's full of
exciting and unexpected twists. You won't be able to put it
down until you know "who done it."
When there’s no escape from a cold-blooded killer, scream,
scream as loud as you can…or it might be the last sound you
ever make . . . .
As white-hot flames sear the dark night, a killer waits in
the trees, watching the mill burn, listening for the
screams—the only proof that justice has finally begun for
the sins of long-ago.
For journalist Cassidy Buchanan, this inferno is a living
nightmare: a reminder of the horrible, mysterious fire that
destroyed her wealthy family seventeen years ago—and of
Brig McKenzie, the handsome hellraiser accused of setting
the blaze.
That tragic crime has never been solved, and already the
whispers have begun in Prosperity, Oregon: Another fire,
more deaths, and one common denominator—Cassidy herself.
Cassidy came home to Prosperity to put the past behind her,
but it seems the past isn’t finished with Cassidy. Someone
doesn’t want her to uncover the chilling truth…someone who
has killed before and will kill again…a cold-blooded
psychopath who is only waiting to hear her….FINAL SCREAM.
