From the celebrated and bestselling author ofย The Banker’s Wife, worlds collide when an FBI agent investigates a string of grisly murders on Long Island that raises the impossible question: What happens when the primary suspect is your father?
FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn’t been home in ten years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. And Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, Marisol, who was brutally murdered when Nell was just seven.
When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father’s ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father’s partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect–and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mother’s murder–and her own role in exonerating her father in that case–Nell can’t help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why. But she may not like the answers she finds–not just about those she loves, but about herself.
Growing up in True, Alaska, the only truth I knew was that Delilah Campbell was an arrogant pain in my ass. She was also my everything, and still haunts my every waking moment.
I donโt have a single memory that doesnโt include Lie, and I can still taste her, even though Alaskaโs no longer big enough for the both of us. After our savage breakup, I fled, chasing my dream and becoming a decorated Green Beret. Ten years later, one bad jump propelled me straight from Special Forces back home, guiding rich idiots into the wilderness, where I struggle to keep them from getting themselves killed. Itโs not the life I planned, but at least Iโm not behind a desk somewhere.
Then one night, my cell rings, shattering my peaceful existence.
โConnor,โ Iโd recognize her voice anywhere, and itโs like Iโm sixteen again, crazy in love and cocky as hell after finding all those gold bars everyone’s been searching for since before we were even born.
I want to tell her to go to hell and throw my phone in the river, but it seems Delilahโs visceral grip on me is permanent.
โItโs mom. Sheโs missing. I need your helpโฆ.”
Everything changed the night our eyes met across the room. His green gaze upon me prickled my skin with uncustomary warmth while my peek beneath his cuffโof a riot of color on his wristโsparked my insatiable curiosity. Tall and mysterious, Kader was a man whose secrets I longed to know.
Little did I realize that the night we met was only the beginningโthe beginning to the end of the existence I knew.
What will happen as his assignment becomes our obsession?

Mistakes were made, okay?
The moment I laid eyes on Kyle Kingston I knew he was a mistake. A satisfying, toe curling, hair pulling, best night of my life mistake, but a mistake all the same. I didnโt yet know his name, or who he was, but I knew he was a bad idea.

Because, FYI, Iโm pregnant
โฆ and did I mention my baby daddy is both heir to a retail empire and impossible to get ahold of?

But it blows up in my face, disastrously so. You see, Kyle Kingston is all about representing the family values his familyโs retail empire was founded on. At least in public. In private- well Iโll tell you about that later.
