Secrets, Lies, and Deadly Ties

She’s the temptation he never wanted. He’s the distraction she’s always needed.

Charli Cross met Death… and survived.

After Charli barely escaped a house fire, the day her parents vanished, she and her aunt moved to Ruby Falls—a private island where they could find safety. It’s been five years since that fateful night, and although her life is far from what she expected, she’s content.

Reed Jameson is the newest detective in the Ruby Falls PD. He’s faced his share of tragedies and came out stronger. But what happens when he falls for the woman being hunted? Everything Charli thought she knew goes up in flames when Reed discovers her mother’s necklace in the middle of the woods, thousands of miles away from where Charli last saw her. When Charli’s past returns with a vengeance, bodies drop, fear spreads, and Reed learns firsthand the danger that follows her.

Love is the complication neither of them wants. But love may be the only thing that can save them.

A neighbor. A locket. A lie. A secret. All leading up to one epic discovery. Tragedy has a unique way of pushing people together. But then again, so does God.
