Journalist Brogan Gilmore had been a rising star when an unethical shortcut on a story leads to his fall from grace. A chance encounter with convicted murderer Melender Harman a few months after her release from prison provides Brogan with a chance for career redemption—if he can land an interview with her.

After serving her 17-year sentence, Melender has one objective: To uncover the truth about what happened to her cousin the night the toddler disappeared. When Brogan pursues her for an exclusive story, she reluctantly agrees if he’ll help her reexamine the original investigation into Jesse’s presumed kidnapping and murder.

While re-investigating the case, Brogan struggles to keep his objectivity as he begins to believe Melender is innocent of the crime—and starts to envision a possible future together. Then a hocking discovery throws their relationship—and investigation—into turmoil.

As Brogan and Melender come closer to solving what happened to Jesse, will their budding relationship survive the truth? 

Book Excerpt

“Miss Mel.” Mr. Patel slipped around the end of the counter and approached, a broad smile on his lined face.

Melender lifted her own lips into an answering grin. The joy on the older man’s face made it impossible not to return his greeting in kind. “Mr. Patel, Janice said you wanted to see me. Is everything okay?”

Mr. Patel grabbed her hand and pumped it up and down. “Everything fine, thanks to you.” Not letting go of her hand, he turned to the man at the counter. “I was telling Mr. Gilmore about what you did last night in—what was word you said?”

Mr. Gilmore smiled. “Foil.”

Mr. Patel nodded. “Yes, foil robbery attempt.”

Melender gently freed her hand from Mr. Patel’s grip and looked from one man to another. “It was nothing.”

“It was not nothing!” Mr. Patel slapped his hand on the counter.

Melender automatically stepped back as her heart rate skyrocketed. There’s no danger. You’re not inside anymore. Nothing to fear here. But no matter what she told herself, the scent of danger hovered in the air. If she sniffed, she would smell its familiar tang, a mixture of sweat, fear, and power.
