"I'm going to make you like me, Lizzie," my sister's new boyfriend sneers. I arrange my features into a pleasant mask, willing myself not to look anxiously for the door. He thinks he's always one step ahead, but he has no idea how far I'll go to protect my family...
Noel
never should have been released from prison. My job helping ex-prisoners turn over a new leaf usually warms my heart, but as soon as I lock eyes with Noel the skin along the nape of my neck prickles. He wasn't locked up for a petty crime; it was manslaughter.
And now he's dating my sister.
Brooke
says she's never met a man who makes her feel so cherished and protected. That a single brush of his hand makes her heart flutter. A knight in shining armor who will finally lay to rest the twisted secrets in her past.
But he whispers words to me that Brooke can't hear. Words that sound like threats. And I do the one thing I know I shouldn't: I search through his prison files to find out all his secrets.
And with trembling hands I discover that he didn't kill his brother by accident...
Noel has no idea what I'm capable of. He could never imagine the darkness that lurks in our family. The things we'll do to protect our own.
I nearly lost Brooke once, and I'll never let that happen again...

I couldn't put this book down

truly wonderful
thriller. It was
impossible to put down
and the ending
kept me guessing right up until the last page
