Chloe's got it all: a happy marriage to Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt, her first child on the way, and the chance to be the maid-of-honor in her best friend, Lori's, upcoming wedding. The stresses of the past year are behind her... almost.
Chris Winters, Chloe's half-brother, still isn't in jail, even though he's the main suspect in a double homicide. The police don't have enough hard evidence to charge him with the crime, but Chloe is certain it was him. After all, he tried to kill her when she was a child.
When Chris begins to stalk Lori, Chloe is furious and decides it is past time he was locked up for good. She has the best security team money can buy, yet she knows they're missing something, and mistakes in this business can be deadly. The deeper she digs, though, the less the facts add up.
Chloe's got mere weeks to figure out how to keep her best friend safe, save the wedding from disaster, and get Chris back in jail where he belongs. That is, if she can gather enough evidence before he strikes again.

On The Run
Chloe Lane is lost, emotionally and literally, on the streets of New York, and this is something she thinks she’s prepared for. What she isn’t prepared for is the overwhelming kindness of four of the few people who could possibly know and understand what she’s going through. She’s running from fear, from pain and most of all, from a brutal and virulent past. Trust is a marathon in hail, rain and fire, and Chloe is a tightly closed book, but as the spine begins to creak under all the weight, there’s a chance she just might burst open. Sarah Parks is a cop, first and foremost. Her dedication to her job is something that her partner, Jake Finchley, has never been able to understand or accept. But when Jake suddenly needs Sarah’s help with one of the biggest cases in the history of their time at the NYPD, a personal and covert one at that, her dedication is all he needs. However, Sarah’s distressing history seems to catch up with her each step of the way, and it’s all she can do not to sink under the weight. As Sarah and Jake both go against everything they’ve ever known to be right, the boundaries of their friendship are tested with the weight of their secrets and the disturbing possibility of an ending. With Sarah hot on Chloe's trail, the light at the end of the tunnel is slowly dimming, with an apocalyptic tension. And they all know it. Secrets exposed. Loves lost. Friendship redefined. Paths crossed. No one is who they seem and no one’s life is as it seems. Through a tale of love, ambiguity, revenge and learning, the lives of everyone in this tale intertwine as they fight for and against love, life and of course, the law.Terminé
