Don't Tell

She ran from one dangerous man — and straight into the arms of another.

Mary Grace Winters has spent years building a quiet life from the wreckage of her past, burying her real name, her real face, and the terror that still wakes her at 3 a.m. She is finally *safe*. Then Detective Tom Davis walks through her door, and everything she's worked to protect threatens to unravel.

Tom doesn't trust her. The secrets she keeps are written all over her careful smile, her too-rehearsed answers, the way her eyes dart toward exits like a woman who never stops running. His job is to find the truth. Hers is to make sure he never does.

They should be adversaries — and they *are*. Right up until the moment they're not.

But the past Mary Grace buried has a way of clawing back to the surface, and someone far more dangerous than a suspicious detective is closing in. Now the man determined to expose her secrets is the only one standing between her and the nightmare she escaped.

Tom has to decide: does he believe in the woman in front of him, or the story that doesn't add up?

Mary Grace has to decide something harder — whether a heart that has only ever known fear is finally ready to trust someone with the truth.

*Some secrets are kept for survival. Some are worth dying for.*
