“As our lives were bound up with one another, so too were our sins.” Ingrid The man I’m falling for turns out to be a contract killer. Liam Stauner: foreign exchange trader, ex-marine . . . and former hitman. And because I witnessed one of his murders, he’s kidnapped me to a remote island near Fiji to make sure I keep quiet. He mistrusts everyone, especially himself. He wants to control his whole world, including me. Yet for some reason I trust him. And I’m beginning to love living with him on his private, perfect island. But now that his brother and my best friend have showed up, reality is intruding on our idyllic existence. Liam’s brother Rory is a prosecutor out for Liam’s blood. And my friend Andrea supports Rory’s campaign to bring Liam to justice. To complicate matters, Liam is trying to rescue his sister and niece from the cult that’s held them for twelve long years. Is my main enemy the outside world—or Liam’s heart, which stubbornly refuses to soften? Liam My little witness. The woman who submitted to me all night long turns out to be the loose end from my last killing. I never expected this complication, but there she was, knowing my secret. So I took her. Now she’s mine to enjoy for as long as I like. My best friend Guy understands, because he’s detained Ingrid’s bestie, Andrea, on my island too. Now she’s his to enjoy for as long as he likes. Sometimes when I’m with Ingrid, I almost believe in hope. Ingrid Pellerin: interior designer, gifted artist, and compassionate supporter of my sister and niece in their time of struggle. But never in a million years would I have expected ending up where I am now, arrested for a crime I didn’t commit. I wish I’d shared my feelings with Ingrid sooner—before it was too late. Was Rory right? Am I about to pay for all my past crimes?
