When hearts and loyalties fracture, can sisterhood survive the debts of men?
Leila Miller has spent her life protecting the people she loves.
At twenty-four, her world is small: her family, her best friend Jennifer McKay, and the quiet certainty that no matter what life throws at them, they will face it together.
But when Jennifer begins digging into the truth behind her father's mounting debts, old lies start surfacing. What first appears to be a trail of gambling losses soon reveals something far more dangerous-something powerful men are willing to protect.
As Jennifer edges closer to the truth, Leila finds herself drawn into a web of secrets she never saw coming. Then the warnings begin. The threats. The feeling of being watched.
And when the wrong people decide Jennifer isn't the only liability, Leila becomes a target too.
Fresh home from deployment, Lance Corporal Jamie Anderson recognises the danger long before she does. But even Jamie-a man trained to face violence head-on-cannot stop every threat from reaching her. Especially when the greatest danger may already be closer than any of them realise.
As old promises resurface and buried loyalties are tested, Leila, Jennifer and Jamie are forced to confront how much they're willing to sacrifice for the people they love.
Because some vows are made in love.
Others are paid for in blood.
