When a string of unexplained deaths rattles the elite coastal town of East Wilton, Detective Roslyn Hunt is the last person who wants to return, but the only one equipped to uncover the truth. Roslyn is forced to confront her past if she hopes to protect the town or have any chance at a future for herself - a future which she hopes continues to include Elle Wolfe. Elle is an upbeat journalist who, against all odds, has begun to melt the ice around Roslyn’s nearly frozen heart, but she has no idea of Roslyn’s past or the family secrets she’s keeping.
Roslyn is determined to keep it that way.
When a new assignment brings Elle to East Wilton too, Roslyn must decide how much of her history she can hide from the journalist sharing her bed… And for how long. Old secrets stir, long-buried wounds reopen, and someone in East Wilton is not who they seem.
In a town where everyone is hiding something, can Roslyn and Elle untangle the truth together, or will they break one another in trying?
