She wanted to protect her brother…but she failed.
He’ll do whatever it takes to protect Vivian,
even if it means taking a bullet…
But will it be enough?

Vivian Rose thought she burned her family’s dirty little secret the day she laid her father to rest. Only, years later, when her brother is found murdered, it seems that secret might have been the very thing that got her brother killed. Now, Vivian finds herself in the middle of an internet game that she doesn’t understand and the target of a dangerous man who will stop at nothing to make her his.

Agent Cameron Thatcher has had his eyes on the sexy Vivian Rose for months. However, when his current case includes a sex club and her brother gets involved, he finds himself in a precarious situation. The more he digs, the more he uncovers, and the more he realizes that Vivian’s in danger. He’ll do whatever is necessary to protect her—including taking a bullet.

Cameron Thatcher is working a case that has a very thin connection to some suicides. The investigation has brought him home to Lake George and he’s connecting with friends while he’s here.

Vivian Rose has been trying for days to reach her brother Oliver. It’s unlike him not to answer her calls or texts, but he’s been acting weird since he started seeing someone named Emma. She first runs into Cameron at the restaurant where she’s meeting friends for dinner. Her best friend Lily and her husband Ethan sort of lay into her about letting go of the past and taking a chance by going out with Cameron the next time he asks her.

At Cameron’s surprise birthday party another suspected suicide comes up, one that hits home for many people. Oliver Rose, from all accounts wouldn’t do that, not after his father.

For Vivian and her mother this is a huge blow. Vivian knows better but when she finds out Cameron had wanted to talk to Oliver things take quite the turn.

Even as these two get closer, the case ramps up and Vivian finds herself involved with things she believed well hidden.

There are so many twists and turns in this book as several things intertwine. Plenty of suspense, intrigue, nail-biting, all combine with a simmer to sizzle romance that you won’t be able to put down.
