In this romantic suspense adventure, a woman has a secret that could rock her hometown—and unleash a killer.

When Ryan Hunt receives a dead-of-night call for help from his childhood friend Lisa Moore, he knows the emergency is real. After barely surviving a brutal attack, Lisa feels Ryan is the only person she can trust. Convinced the assault wasn't random, he realizes she is hiding a dark and potentially deadly secret. Ryan can't ignore Lisa's silence any more than he can resist the Texas heat between them. He risks his life—and heart—to protect her. But if he can't get Lisa to confide in him, the secret could bring the town of Mason Ridge to its knees. And destroy the only woman he has ever loved.
