Some secrets are worth killing for...
Everyone knows that Mary Weaver is a saint. All her life she's been the guiding light behind Mayday House, a refuge for women in need. But on this dark night, she is haunted by memories from another time. Dark memories. Lies. Betrayals. Murder. Evil. And she will not die without confessing her sins, without telling her truth. She will make three last phone calls, and if she awakens sleeping dragons, so be it...
Gus Hammond's job is simple. Now that old lady Weaver is dead, he is to go to Erinville, Washington, and shut down her dilapidated, outdated mission. But he doesn't count on meeting Keeley Farrell—and he sure doesn't count on wanting her. Born and raised at Mayday House, Keeley has come home to continue Mary's work and discover truths about her own life — truths that lie buried somewhere in the jumble of files deep inside Mayday House.
Truths that someone will kill to hide.
Now, Gus has a new reason to get Keeley free of Mayday House. For a dying woman's last act has ignited a deadly fuse, one that leads back to the old house and Keeley herself ... A WOMAN HE WILL RISK EVERYTHING TO PROTECT.
