Casey knows the truth.

But it won’t set her free.

Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the crime scene. There’s no use talking to police; they have failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she’s arrested . . . or worse. The truth doesn’t matter anymore.

But what is the truth? That’s the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. PTSD has marked him damaged goods, but bringing Casey back can redeem him. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren’t adding up. Casey Cox doesn’t fit the profile of a killer. But are Dylan’s skewed perceptions keeping him from being objective? If she isn’t guilty, why did she run?

Unraveling her past and the evidence that condemns her will take more time than he has, but as Dylan’s damaged soul intersects with hers, he is faced with two choices. The girl who occupies his every thought is a psychopathic killer . . . or a selfless hero. And the truth could be the most deadly weapon yet.

I’ve read one romance novel by Blackstock, but this was my first of her suspense novels. Her experience shows in her ability to reveal just enough to keep the reader genuinely interested without feeling like you’re being jerked around or forced to keep reading.

I didn’t realize the main plot would stretch over three novels, but Blackstock handles it beautifully — book one wraps up well while still leaving part of the story open ended for book two.

I’ll definitely read the rest of this series! Get your copy here!
