New York Times bestselling author Christie Craig returns with her next heart-stopping romantic suspense about a woman on the run and the man eager to uncover her secrets -- for readers of Kat Martin, Rebecca Zanetti, and Mary Burton!

Police detective Juan Acosta doesn't only carry scars on the outside. He's filled with guilt and anger ever since his undercover job led to the murder of those he loved the most. Now he's living for one thing: revenge. That is, until Juan meets his beautiful new neighbor.

Vicki Holloway prides herself on being capable and independent, but her life is turned upside down when her sister Sara is killed by an abusive ex. Fearing for the safety of her niece, Vicki and the little girl go into hiding...resurfacing in Texas with new identities.

Juan finds his once-frozen heart thawing around Vicki, but he knows she's hiding something. Juan needs answers, but Vicki isn't talking. She has to keep her secrets if she wants to keep Bell safe, which means resisting her growing feelings for the sexy, scarred man next door. But when Juan's quest for justice brings danger to her door, divulging the truth might be the only thing that keeps her alive.

Includes the bonus novella Hot Target by April Hunt!

After the death of her sister, Vicki makes a run for it with her niece fearing for her safety. Finally settled in a different place, under different names hopefully things will remain quiet. Police Detective Jaun is still a bit broken after the death of his wife and unborn child that steamed from a undercover mission he took on. Juan can tell his new lovely neighbor got some secrets and can tell that she is hiding something but what is it?
I love mystery thrillers and this was a pretty great book. I loved watching as the mystery began to unfold wondering when Vicki's late sisters husband would show up. Every one believes him to be dead but she knows the truth, not only that he got ties as a dirty cop so that only muddles things even more. I loved that now only do we readers get a view on both main characters but the ex's as well, we get to see how things are going on from his perspective and really see how twisted he is. There is so much to enjoy about this book and seeing how things were getting closer to the end and just read this book it was pretty great.
