To protect her daughter, Lana would do anything — lie, cheat, and steal.
When her child’s father emerges from the shadows, Lana thinks she’s finally found answers about family and identity. But the man she thinks she knows is more complicated, and far more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Jordie is a man running from his own past, using every skill and connection he has to bring down a criminal force he once belonged to.
When Lana demands his help, the line between ally and threat becomes blurred. Can they work together to stop a man notorious for brutality before he takes the one thing Lana holds most dear?
But there is more at stake than family secrets. Ruby, a fellow foster sister, grows up with a childhood bauble she once thought was fake… and now it has arrived thirty-five years later, worth over a million dollars. Someone is playing a dangerous game to silence those who know about the buried secrets.
