Thirty-five years ago, Raymond OāConnell didnāt exist, at least not until the moment Iris walked into his life. His very existence had been a secret, a carefully cultivated lie, except for the fact that he loved Iris and the six children heād never planned on having. Heād become careless, living a life that belonged to someone else.
Becoming Raymond OāConnell had made him forget who he really was, and when he fell in love with a fantasy he knew he couldnāt have, he put his family in danger. Ultimately, he found himself covering up a murder to protect the woman he loved, and that act forced him to walk away and return to the shadows of a secret life that he couldnāt find his way out of.
When he returns to Livingston with a son in tow, what he doesnāt expect is to be dragged from the shadows to protect a family that suddenly has a target on their backs. Soon, Raymond finds himself becoming part of a bigger, deadlier plotāone that could leave someone in his family, someone heās sworn to stay away from, dead.
The choice heāll have to make to protect the OāConnells could come at a heartbreaking cost. Can Raymond choose between the son he has now and the family he walked away from?
