When someone comes after Izzy, it’s clear she’s a connection to the criminals they want to silence. Beau’s vow to keep her safe gives her a strength she thought she’d lost. When the nightmare she’s already survived once becomes her new reality, Izzy must fight for the life she wants. A life with Beau by her side. But first she has to make it out alive. less
