The man behind it all is Hendrix Andrews. We were high school sweethearts, our futures all mapped out. Our wedding was planned, but with one sentence, it was all ruined.
A funeral has pulled me back home, and this is where the chaos really begins. My newly rebuilt life is falling apart bit by bit, and the one person who I should be able to rely on is the one I now fear the most.
Secrets and lies emerge, and everything I thought I knew about my life is a lie..
Will the one man I want to avoid at all costs actually be the one with the answers to all my questions?

What an ‘edge-of-your-seat’ this little treasure is 😜😜😜😜

BUT what is going on in the background????? Twists, turns and secrets galore will be revealed……..but the big question is…..will Lani and Hendrix make it??????
My first read by this author and I found it quite good. Steady pace and flow, twists and suspense in places. Easy to read and relax, getting to know the characters and their good/ bad points. Nice group of friends that have grown up together but it got fractured and now they need to reunite and be strong against an unlikely threat. It is emotional, with some romance and heat but there is also some violence. This does have a happy ending.
