She’s here to expose his past. He’s here to escape it. But some secrets refuse to stay buried. Dylan never planned on coming back to Pride—let alone going undercover in her own hometown. As a private investigator, she’s used to getting close to her targets without getting involved, but this case is different. She’s been hired to dig into the past of Abe Collins, the chart-topping musician with a troubled history. Years ago, he was in a car accident that left a young woman dead, and someone wants the truth uncovered. Dylan is just here to do a job… not to fall for the man behind the music. But from the moment she hears his voice, her tough exterior starts to crack. Abe is looking for an escape. The pressure of fame is suffocating, and a summer at his friend Max’s newly restored lighthouse promises the solitude he desperately needs. But when he crosses paths with a captivating stranger on the beach—one who doesn’t seem fazed by his fame—he feels something stir deep inside him, something he thought had died along with Kara, the only woman he’s ever loved. Dylan is a challenge he can’t resist, and breaking through her walls becomes his new obsession. But neither of them realizes that someone will do anything to keep the past buried. The truth behind the accident is more dangerous than they ever imagined, and as Dylan gets closer to uncovering it, the real culprit will stop at nothing—even if it means staging another deadly crash.
