They say you can never really go home again, but for me, it is my only escape. Leaving behind Nigel and the hellish grip he had on me, I fled to the one place that ever felt my home. Nigel should have been a protector, a man of the law, but behind closed doors, he was a tyrant, abusing his power and everyone around him. No one knew that I had it so much worse. Upon returning home, I step into my new role as detective and reunite with my high school friends. Being back in this town reminds me of the life I once had, and in Mitch’s arms, I find the love I thought I’d lost forever. Yet, as Nigel’s shadow looms closer, I must confront the terror of my past to protect the future I dare to dream of. With each passing day, the danger grows, and the lines between my professional duties and personal fears blur.
This is a DARK crime romance with HEAVY triggers. Reader's discretion is HIGHLY advised
