She’s chasing a killer. He’s protecting more than just secrets. Falling for him could cost her everything.

Eight years ago, she walked away from the FBI. Leaving behind a world of surveillance, secrets, and a devastating case that still haunts her. Trading classified files for bylines, she chose journalism as a safer way to chase the truth: one where she could control the story instead of becoming part of it.

But control is an illusion.

Her latest assignment threatens everything she’s built. Her credibility is under fire, the shadows of her past are closing in, and the truth she’s chasing is far more personal than she ever imagined.

At the center of it all is Jameson. Always there, watching, waiting. He knows more about her than he should. He asks the right questions, touches all the wrong nerves, and stirs up a connection that never really faded.

Their chemistry is volatile. Ruth doesn’t trust him, not fully, but she also can’t stay away.

Even her family doesn’t realize how deeply she’s falling
Back into secrets.
Back into danger,.
Back into the kind of feelings that nearly destroyed her once before.

Now, Ruth must choose between finding the truth, guarding her heart, and surviving a game she swore she’d never play again.
Because some stories aren’t just meant to be told—
They’re meant to unravel everything.
