After rescuing me from the icy waters of the Chicago River, Shane begins investigating the people closest to me, and to my horror, discovers several of them have a motive to want me dead.
Worse, he firmly believes they will try again.
The more time Shane spends with me trying to unravel how I plummeted from that bridge, the more protective he becomes, and the harder we fall for each other. But I can tell Shane is hiding something from me—something that has the power to destroy our happily ever after.
All I want is to solve the case so we can put this entire nightmare behind us.
But I never imagined the shocking truth about that fateful evening… or what’s about to happen to us both…
