Prudence has always known her family was broken, but she never imagined it could become deadly. Her husband's grip on their lives was suffocating, her children teeter on the edge of ruin, and her baby is the only piece of innocence she has left. But in a household built on silence and fear, even the smallest betrayal can set off a chain reaction.
Zane is a detective chasing shadows, drawn into a case that pulls him closer to Prudence and the secrets she's trying to protect. The more he uncovers, the more dangerous it becomes-not just for him, but for everyone caught in the crossfire.
As tragedy strikes and loyalties crumble, Prudence must make a choice: expose the truth and risk everything, or stay silent and lose what little she has left. But in a world where love and survival collide, even the right choice might come at a deadly cost.
Some bonds are unbreakable . Others are deadly.
