Iâve worked hard to rebuild the life I nearly destroyed.
I don't think I could ever atone for all my sins, but Landon might be my salvation.
If we can survive a brewing drug war.
The private investigation firm I've started with my brother could be my shot at redemption. Our first case: find the supplier of Rapture, a new, lethal drug being sold on the streets. Iâm determined to do some good and make up for the sins of my past.
One of those sins just walked through the door, and her name is Landon Roberts. Two years ago, a chance meeting in an empty bar led to the most intense connection of my life. The anguish in her eyes echoed the pain inside me, and for a single night we offered each other comfort. Until the morning when she disappeared without a trace.
Now, sheâs the D.E.A. agent tasked with finding and eliminating the source behind Rapture. Which means I plan on spending a lot of time with her, because I have no intention of letting her get away again.
But the powerful man behind the lethal drug wonât let anyone stand in his way of his making money. Can Landon and I survive long enough to find love and atonement?

Excerpt
I reached my car, and the voice that hadnât left my head for two years, the one I could pick out blindfolded, hit my ears. âLeaving so soon?â
It was far too close for comfort. I froze and quickly tried to make my escape, but the second I tugged on the handle, a strong hand slammed across the top of my car door, halting its movement.
âMove your hand,â I bit out behind clenched teeth.
My gaze locked on the fingers in front of me. They looked exactly the same as they had before. Calloused. Strong. Gentle. A brief flash of them cupping my breast, thumbing my nipple, rushed through my mind. I pushed the images away, needing to get out of here.
Hating him for making me look at him, I raised my eyes to meet hazel ones. It almost hurt to see Prestonâs face again. His expression echoed the pain I forced down. He took a tiny step back. Not far enough away, because if I wanted, I could still reach out and touch him.
âWhyâd you run?â
I closed my eyes, needing to break this connection. I also needed to block out my emotions. Heâd seen too much of them already.
Hoping my mask was back in place, I met his stare again. âI didnât run. I left. We had a good time, and it was over.â
Preston crossed his arms. âLiar.â
I flinched. Even after two years, he still saw too much.
âYou and I both know it was more than just a good time, Landon.â
Hearing that name from his lips hardened my emotions. He met Sara that night. I needed to put a stop to this. Pushing back my shoulders, I straightened to my full height. âWe fucked. That was it. Nothing more, nothing less.â
âDoes Brody know?â
I reared back. âGod, no. I didnât even know he was your brother until that day outside the warehouse. Heâd told me he had a recovering addict brother, but no fucking way could I have guessed it was you.â
âIâve never forgotten you,â he said softly.
Pain shot through me. Iâd never forgotten him, either, no matter how hard I tried. But he was no good for me. He made me feel things I didnât deserve to feel.
It was time to end this conversation. I glared hard at him, desperate to show how much I didnât care. âIt was two years ago. You should get over it. I know I have.â
