Her ex’s mysterious death
…is now theirs to solve.
When Brenda Devers sees her estranged—and recently deceased—husband, Scott, at the airport, she reels in shock. She’d buried him three weeks ago—hadn’t she? Only now his business troubles have thrust Brenda and her young daughter into sudden do-or-die jeopardy. Luckily the single mom’s new neighbor, Ben Clark, is smart, attractive and seemingly trustworthy when police and the FBI are not. A top Colby private investigator, Ben’s been hired to protect Brenda. But as he helps her uncover the truth about Scott, the danger factor amps up—and her worst nightmare might be coming true.
About The Author
My Review
This book is about grief, deception, and a dangerous trail of secrets that refuses to stay buried, even after death. This is a fast-paced romantic suspense that leans heavily into mystery, tension, and escalating danger.
Brenda Devers is still reeling from the sudden loss of her estranged husband when she spots him alive at an airport, a shocking moment that immediately destabilizes everything she believed. That uncertainty quickly spirals into suspicion and fear as she finds herself questioned by authorities, targeted by unknown enemies, and forced to protect her young daughter, Janie. The appearance of threatening messages and a break-in pushes Brenda into survival mode, where trust becomes nearly impossible.
Enter Ben Clark, her new neighbor who turns out to be a private investigator connected to the Colby Agency. His steady presence and investigative skills provide much-needed structure as the situation unravels. Together, they dig into Scott’s hidden business dealings, uncovering a web of secrets that suggest far more danger than Brenda ever anticipated.
The pacing is tight and consistently engaging, with twists that keep the tension high throughout. While the romantic element takes a backseat to the suspense, the mystery is the true strength of the story, delivering an absorbing and unpredictable read.
