Description du livre
How do you start over when the past won’t stay buried?
Rebecca Wilder’s life is about to implode. Again. The first time, she was a naive young woman with terrible taste in men. Her mistake was leaving town with a man who turned out to be an abusive son of a bitch. Her undoing was allowing curiosity to get the best of her. Bad things happened. Very bad things. Years later, when the whole sordid mess is behind her and she’s finally comfortable with the choices she’s made, the police come knocking. Someone is dead, and Rebecca’s life is about to implode for the second time.
Corporal Sunny Bronson and her partner, Sergeant Roscoe Pratt, are working on the fringes of a federal investigation into an international human trafficking ring with ties to the city of St. John’s. They’ve been tasked with finding a key player who goes by the name Fidget. When a house bust doesn’t go as planned, Sunny finds herself entwined in a different investigation, and her boss has ordered her to stay clear of it.
But for reasons she isn’t willing to share, Sunny can’t walk away, and she’s willing to risk both her partnership with Roscoe and her career to find the answers. When she seeks help from an unlikely source, Sunny unknowingly begins the unravelling of a secret, one Rebecca Wilder desperately wants to stay buried.
One thing is for certain—everyone involved has something to hide. The question is how far they are willing to go to protect someone else’s secret.
