Ray and Carly had been together since college but their marriage wasn’t always what Ray expected it would be. They wanted different things and Carly usually got her way.
Vanessa Crawford was everything Ray was looking for. She was young and fun. Even though Ray knew it was wrong, he started a year long affair with Vanessa. He had no intentions of divorcing his wife and made sure Vanessa knew it.
When Vanessa was brutally murdered after she broke it off with Ray, he became their number one suspect. His life begins to spiral out of control after his arrest for the crime.
Carly stands by her husband until he disappears in the middle of the night to flee prosecution.
While the lead prosecutor pushes for a case, Ray has a glimmer of hope. Detectives Parrish and Hardin don’t believe he did it and work tirelessly to stop an innocent man from being railroaded. Ray’s lawyer and best friend, Brock, helps dig into the truth hoping to find out who really killed Vanessa and save his friend.
Corruption runs deep. Innocent lives are destroyed and people are used all for selfish gain.

From the very first page, this thriller had me hooked. I kept promising myself just one more chapter, unable to tear my eyes away from the story’s grip. Each turn of the page revealed new surprises, building upon on-going suspense that kept me guessing right up to the final twist.
What most surprised me about this book was the depth of emotion woven into the plot; a moving story of passion and enduring love hidden beneath all of the tension and danger.
This was my first time reading a book by A.C. Lynne, but it certainly won’t be my last.
this was a pretty good book, a multilayered story that slowly unravels through various agencies investigations. Ray is set up to be the fall for the murder of his ex affair partner but when it's obvious he will be arrested for good he flees. the detectives believe him now they just have to prove it.
