Lexi O'Connor has the ring, the man, and the perfect wedding plans-but not the life she dreamed of. To everyone else, she's the picture of happiness: successful café owner, devoted fiancé, future bride. But beneath the flawless façade lies a woman haunted by a past she's desperate to keep buried.
When her café is violently robbed, Lexi suspects it's no random crime. Her search for answers pulls her into the orbit of Equinox, a ruthless cult whose reach is wider, and motives darker, than she could have imagined.
Forced undercover, Lexi quickly learns she can't trust anyone. Not her fiancé. Not her friends. And not even the handsome Detective Hayward, who threatens to expose the secrets she's fought to hide... and awaken feelings she shouldn't want.
As the line between hunter and hunted blurs, Equinox is watching, and her past is slipping. And if Lexi can't keep it hidden, it won't just shatter her future, it could cost her everything, including her life.
