Private Investigator Devanie Hutchins defines her life by what she used to be. Former homicide detective, former foster kid, former mother. And former college sweetheart of Texas Congressman Jackson Everett. When Jack's sister is brutally murdered, Dev and Jack are forced to set their painful history aside and work together to find the killer. Jack may be driven by justice, but Dev is haunted by something far more dangerous-her need for absolution from a past that could destroy them both. The investigation points to a shadowy boyfriend and a deeply personal crime scene, yet Dev's gut warns that a critical piece of the truth remains hidden. With time running out and the past tightening its grip, Dev must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to uncover the truth. Some secrets don't just ruin careers. They can take everything that matters, including the man she still loves.
