When secrets burst into the open, when trust is betrayed, and when someone beautiful must face the consequences, only courage and truth can lead to survival. This clean romantic suspense novel delivers sharp twists, strong heroines, formidable villains, and a romance that blossoms in the face of fear. Ideal for readers who crave high-stakes mystery, tension, and clean love that holds firm even when everything seems lost.

The only thing is…the killer shares something very precious with Shelby. Something she can’t shake off.
