Declan Wallace would give anything to take back the words that destroyed them. Anything to erase the moment he pushed her away and straight into the arms of the enemy. While Alex lay in a hospital bed with her future uncertain, he did the only thing he could: hunt the people responsible. But before he can focus on the threat still circling them, he has to figure out who inside the Bureau he can trust... and who has already betrayed them.
Alex Kelley may have survived the attack, but her heart did not.
After a kidnapping that nearly took her life, Alex returns to Whiskey River with scars no one can see and a heart she no longer trusts. Survival came at a price-a deal with the devil born from exhaustion and desperation. A deal neither party may be able to keep.
Her trust in Declan-and in the Bureau-shattered, Alex turns to her family for safety. A family with a name darker than the man she's trying to outrun... and a reputation to match.
As Alex pieces her life back together, it becomes clear the danger has not passed. With the investigation heating up, Alex and Declan are forced together once again.
Haunted by his failure, Declan is determined to keep her safe... even if she wants nothing to do with him. As they navigate the wreckage between them, a new threat closes in. Old wounds reopen. Old sparks ignite.
At Whiskey River...
Redemption isn't guaranteed.
But neither is survival.
