When Nate Carter, the man who crossed the line, ends up dead, the question of who is responsible looms large. Secrets, lies, and old wounds resurface as Charlie and her team uncover the truth. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that not everything is as it seems.
In a world where loyalty is tested and justice takes unexpected turns, Charlie must confront not only the haunting memories of that night but also the ones who would go to any lengths to protect her.

WHAT HE WAS HIDING
Sixteen-year-old Leah Lennox doesn't believe in second chances. Not after her father vanished without a word, leaving behind silence, debt, and a family pretending to be fine.
