New York Times bestselling author Julie Ann Walker calls it "scorchingly sexy and darkly intriguing...a page-turning must read."

Which family secret will cut him the deepest?

Ellie's in my bed when I close my eyes and there when I wake. I'm aware of her every move, consuming each breath she takes. She is the flesh-and-blood savior who lights up my dark soul.

But now, my angel lies to me. She's seeking answers to the questions left behind by her sister and my brother. She should know better than to withhold the truth from me. There's no space between us, no room for secrets.

I watch over Ellie's investigation from a distance, keeping her safe while she searches for closure. When her actions draw out another enemy, I have no choice but to risk my own freedom by killing the man coming after my wife.

Just when we think our living hell is over, she uncovers another shocking lie, and it's a bombshell that puts me on my knees...

If only I'd been prepared for the pain caused by that last cruel betrayal.

Readers who love steamy romantic thrillers are calling the Hastings series a gripping, atmospheric game changer with jaw-dropping twists you won't see coming.
