A stranger at the door. A secret my mother kept for thirty years. A truth that changes everything.
I chose Phoenix Crawford over my family. I killed a man to keep him. I thought I knew exactly who I was and what I’d sacrificed to be with him. I was wrong about all of it.
Someone from the past has walked back into my life — and nothing Phoenix can buy, burn, or destroy will make this one go away. Because this isn’t about him. This is about me. Who I am?
Where do I come from? Phoenix says he’ll protect me from anything. But how do you protect someone from the truth? Every answer leads to a darker question. Every person I trust is keeping something.
Every foundation I’ve built my life on is starting to crack. I survived the attack. I survived the stalker. I survived becoming someone I never thought I’d be.
But disappearing might be the only way out of this. And this time, Phoenix Crawford might not be able to follow.
