A new standalone romantic psychological thriller, from the author of the Falling Small Duet.

Love stories don't usually start with tripping over a dead body.

But mine did. That's when I met him.

I never thought taking pictures in the woods would be dangerous. Nothing ever happened that far out in no man's land. But when I stumbled upon a dead body and a man with a mysterious accent, I knew I was in over my head.

Sometimes, choices aren’t simple. Sometimes, things aren’t as they seem. And now, I can’t tell if he’s my savior, or if I’m his prisoner.

When your only choice is the devil you know or the devil you don’t…

How do you choose when it’s not just your life but your heart on the line too?

**This book contains adult language and graphic sexual situations.**

Sometimes bad decisions... are made for the right reasons.

I lost everything with the death of my bandmate—my privacy, my reputation, my career, and the love of my life.

I’m nothing but the living ghost of Madelaine Dobransky. Still, I’ve managed to make a new life for myself and build a successful business from the ashes. And even though my world is filled with guilt, secrets, and suspicion... it lies buried beneath the surface.

All I wanted was a tattoo. I didn't know that it would bring him—the one who watches—back into my life. Nor did I expect the tempting tattoo artist, Dexter McClellan, to lay claim on a place in my world. Dex wants to know me, to know the truth.

But I can’t let that happen. Because the truth is buried for a reason.

The truth will destroy me.

Sometimes the worst lies... are the ones we tell ourselves.

His death left me broken—destroyed.

It wasn’t the incident alone. I was already damaged beyond repair by the events leading to that moment. But seeing his lifeless body only sealed my fate. So many mistakes. So much regret.

Dex wants to know what happened that night. He wants to catch a killer and put my demons to rest. I'm just not sure I can trust him after the lies he told to get close. I’m wary... guarded. Still, I’ll welcome him to my world and lead him into the darkness.

He’ll see me for what I truly am. But I’m not the only one keeping secrets. And maybe…

The truth will set us all free.
