In this fast-paced, suspense-fueled novel, Arizona’s most decorated detective finds a spectacular second
chance at love—but when he starts digging into the most lethal case of his career, his future takes a shocking
turn . . .
After the tragic unsolved murder of his beloved wife, Detective Ronald King never thought there’d be more to
his life than work. But from the second he meets his city's captivating new mayor, Tabitha Knight, he’s drawn
in by her lively political savvy, her warm, generous nature—and her determination to make the city work for
everyone. Once he finishes investigating the toughest narcotics case he's ever faced, he’ll marry the woman
he's grown to love—and support her as she makes a bound-to-be successful bid for governor . . .
But Ronald hits one frustrating dead end after another trying to track down the killer of the state's most powerful
and dangerous drug lord. He's uncovering a chilling lack of evidence. And he’s stunned by clues pointing back
to Tabitha's high-living nephew. Even worse, he can't seem to make her own mysterious past add up.
As crime surges, Ronald starts putting all the pieces together. But he’ll soon have to confront allies turned
enemies, treacherous secrets and lies, and a blindsiding truth that will throw everything he’s believed into
question—and could leave him with no way out . . .
