About the Book

A decade ago, Beckett Wallace buried her husband after a tragic plane crash.

Case closed. Grief buried. Life rebuilt.

Until an unmarked envelope appears on her doorstep containing evidence that the crash wasn’t an accident.

The proof is chilling. The implications are deadly.

And someone out there will do anything to keep the truth buried.

With no one else she can trust, Beckett turns to the last man she ever wanted to see again.

Detective Shawn Sampson is gruff, guarded, and relentlessly precise—and he hasn’t forgotten the sharp-tongued lawyer who nearly destroyed his last undercover operation. He doesn’t want to help her. He doesn’t trust her. And he definitely doesn’t want to reopen a cold case that powerful people are desperate to keep closed.

But the evidence is real.

And the danger is closer than either of them realizes.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Beckett and Shawn follow a trail of secrets that leads straight into a deadly conspiracy. As threats escalate and shadows close in, the tension between them grows impossible to ignore.

Shawn is trained to protect.

Beckett is determined to uncover the truth.

And neither of them is prepared for how quickly their investigation turns personal.

Because solving her husband’s murder may cost Shawn more than his badge.

It may cost him his heart.
