When a long-buried piece of her past finally resurfaces, Aubrey is forced to confront the life she's spent years trying to leave behind. As old enemies emerge and new threats close in, keeping her secrets hidden becomes more dangerous than revealing them. Ryan can see the walls she's built around herself, and he's determined to break through them. With every secret Aubrey refuses to share, he uncovers another on his own-proving that if she won't trust him with the truth, he'll find it elsewhere. As their feelings deepen, Ryan becomes the steady presence Aubrey never knew she needed, giving her the strength to protect the people she loves most. But with danger drawing closer by the day, the truth may come too late. Some secrets are worth dying to protect. Others are worth killing for.
