Life on the street molds emotional athletes.

Three years ago, her brother's death marked the beginning of Kendra's new life, an existence with no friends, no family, and no home.

Her new identity crumbles when a specter from her brother's past demands a package she doesn't possess. There's only one person who could know its location. For Kendra, re-entrance into polite society comes with a deadly price, as betrayal comes from both sides of the grave.

Conner Crofton, ex-military, fights his own demons. Failure to protect a teammate on their last covert mission takes penance as a promise to safeguard a family member, a girl he'd unknowingly remanded to a world of darkness and uncertainty, deception and psychopathic stalkers.

The past haunts them both while forgiveness, betrayal, and passion interweave a destiny formed long ago. Romantic suspense with a twist.
