Investigative reporter Jade Pezzaro has the hottest lead in south Texas. Her longtime friend discovers a dead body while jogging along the sandy shores in North Padre Island, Texas. She is determined to get this news assignment until she discovers that she must work with the world-renowned forensic dentist and U.S. Army Lt. Col. Patrick Morsey.
Stationed at military bases in Italy for nearly a decade, Patrick has become all-too familiar with the Italian language and its less-than provincial culture. Despite his European air, Capt. Morsey's Texas, military-family roots still run deep, and Jade rekindles some of his hometown memories.
To solve this mystery, they must to terms with their past. One in which, Patrick reminds Jade, left him scarred and his ego bruised.

At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him.

They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
