1. Waking Nightmare (2009)
Savannah, Georgia is shook by a brutal serial rapist. Police detective Ryne Robel leads the investigation, but needs manpower to capture the violent culprit. The tough cop is extremely unhappy when the best the brass can give him is waif like forensic profiler Abbie Phillips of Mindhunters, a private firm.
However, Abbie quickly proves her worth as a criminologist when she figures out the motive of the sociopath. They also learn the predator uses a designer drug that induces extra fear from the victims because the rapist customizes the cocktail to the person.
With many previous successful cases, Abbie knows she can be a valuable member to his team by contributing her opinions about the perpetrator. As she studies the connected cases to form motivational reasoning behind each one, she comes to some startling conclusions while proving her worth more than once. Abbie believes the person responsible for the sadistic acts somehow learns of a private fear and uses this knowledge to cause even more anguish to each of his victims. As Ryan and Abbie work closely together to stop the terror seizing Savannah, they come to respect each other, both professionally and personally, while desirous longing continues to mount. Unfortunately, the person they are after does not plan on ever being caught.
