Grace had never been more terrified... the pain was relentless.
Nothing in her life prepared her for this.
She desperately needed somewhere safe... someplace she could hide.
Someone she could trust with her life.
It was dark... and getting darker.

Ronan Hendricks didn't recognize her voice.
Not family... not friends.
Probably not an enemy.
But he didn't need the years he'd spent as a detective to recognize what he did hear... Fear.

In a desperate moment of hope, a single number saved her life. Then a complete stranger opened his home offering safety yet Grace knew danger surrounded them... when the pain allowed her to think clearly. But she knew she needed him to stay alive because someone wanted her dead... like her sister.

Ethan Hendricks wasn't thrilled that his private investigator brother was involved in his current murder investigation. He'd had a bad feeling about it from the moment he walked through the crime scene. The second time through wasn't any better.

Maya Fenton had very few choices... unfortunately all of them included facing a ghost from her past.

Grace is determined to help unravel the mystery behind her sister's violent murder. Their investigation includes Grace and her sister's business records... numbers don't lie. They eventually point them in an unexpected direction that reveals a harsh and bitter truth... there is no greater betrayal than when it comes from within.

There is nothing closer than family.

As they continue to look for clues, Grace and Ronan along with trusted family and friends both new and old, discover possible evidence of betrayal and deception. Their search for answers may take them in a direction they didn't expect.
