Corruption runs deep here. Deeper than I imagined.

It started with whispers. A shady land deal. A suspicious mayor.
Then my neighbor was murdered, and the warnings began.

Trace Kavanah. The man I left behind. The man I can’t forget.
He’s a detective now. Watching me. Protecting me. Questioning me.

I don’t want his help. I don’t need it.

But the threats are closing in.

My apartment’s been ransacked. I’m being followed.
And the deeper I dig, the darker this town’s secrets become.

Now I’m stuck with Trace, hiding out in his cabin.
Pretending I don’t feel anything when he’s close.

Pretending the past doesn’t matter.

But it does.

Because this time, it’s not just me at risk.
They’ve threatened my sister.

They’ve targeted Trace.

The truth is a dangerous game.

And in Cedar Grove, silence can get you killed.

The past isn’t done with us. And this time, it’s personal.
