Some loves never truly die. Some secrets never stay buried. And some betrayals cut deeper than goodbye.
Monica thought she had left the past behind. A new city. A steady boyfriend. A safe, quiet life. But when Hesney-the man who once shattered her heart-suddenly reappears, the cracks she's spent years sealing begin to split wide open.
Worse still, her best friend Lena is hiding a secret of her own: a missing brother tangled in a dark underworld Monica never knew existed. And Femi, the sweet and gentle boyfriend she trusts most, is not who he claimed to be.
As her carefully built world unravels, Monica begins to wonder:
Who in her life has been lying? Who has been watching? And is she as innocent as she wants to believe... or is she hiding something, too?
Because buried in her past is another man she never talks about-Sam Peterson-the only person she truly broke. And the past has a way of finding its way home.
In this darkly layered tale of love, guilt, and deception, Monica will have to choose:
Run from the truth-or face it. Even if it destroys everything.
