On Sale: 2/24/2026
She’s come home to stop her nightmares.

He’s protecting her from new ones.

Returning home is supposed to help Detective Seana McTiernan lay her past to rest. Instead, it’s made her a target. Yet having Jason Carlyle live just across the street gives her an unexpected sense of security. Especially since confronting the tragedy that occurred fifteen years ago has uncovered long-buried secrets. As Jason goes from neighbor to protector, Seana is determined to solve the mystery that upended her world. Will her homecoming provide closure to the cold case or create two new victims?
