After welcoming a son to his family, Detective Ronan O’Mara is on top of the world. When his ex-husband, convicted child murderer, Josh Gatlin, has his life sentence overturned, Ronan’s carefully constructed world begins falling down around him. Not only is his murderous ex about to be set free, he accuses Ronan of being Michael Frye’s killer in a tell-all television interview. When Josh is found murdered in his jail cell, all eyes turn to Ronan as the suspect.
Psychic Tennyson Grimm wants nothing more than to spend his days bonding with his newborn son, but when Ronan insists on investigating his ex’s murder, Ten knows Ronan will need his abilities more than ever. With surveillance camera mounted everywhere within the prison, Ten knows solving the crime will be as simple as watching the footage. The only problem is that the cameras were switched off the night of the murder. Making the crime that much harder to solve are the suspects, the warden and three corrections officers, who all have the opportunity and motive to have silenced Josh permanently. Complicating matters further is the involvement of convicted mob boss Vito Dragonni, who may be playing both sides against the middle. When the wrong man is arrested for the crime, Ronan will do anything to find Josh’s true killer, including using himself as bait to lure the monster out of hiding. Can Ronan catch the killer before they strike again or will he be the next man to wind up dead and gone?
He's Here!!! Baby Ezra has arrived and when life as a family of four should be perfect, a couple of nights home with the baby their phones blow up with their extended family telling them to put on the TV where they find Ronan’s scumbag ex-husband Josh giving an interview from the prison where he was sent after being convicted of the abduction abuse and murder of five-year-old Michael Fry (from book #1). This was not only the first book in the series, but it was also Ronan and Ten’s first case together. 5-year-old Michael guided Tenneysen to the place he was buried and helped to solve his own murder.
Josh was announcing that his prison sentence had been overturned following an appeal. He couldn't let "well enough alone"...oh no... he then proceeded to do a hatchet job on Ronan by stated all over TV, that Ronan was the actual killer, and he had framed him... but before he could be released, he was murdered in his cell. All eyes are now on Ronan as his life starts to shatter.
Ronan now has no choice but to solve the murder in order to vindicate himself. Tenn is very reluctant to go back to or anywhere near to the prison since the previous visit had sent almost all of his psychic abilities into a total "free fall" and made him very sick... but he knows he will have to help Ronan especially as Josh is as evil when dead as he was when he was alive.
As usual all the family and friends gather around to help with the case which has A LOT of twists and turns and "Little Miss", Everly gets a big dose of jealousy over her baby brother, Ezra. Ronan finds himself sitting front and center of her temper tantrums. We also learn, along with her two "daddies" that Everly has some awesome psychic powers... some stronger than either of her father's! Ronan decides that he's just going to thank his lucky stars that she didn't turn him into a frog!
Overall, Pandora Pine has given us another great story of this beautiful chosen and rapidly growing family. Keep writing, Ms. Pine, and I'll keep reading and recommending your wonderful series.
