Born the son of one of the wealthiest families in Tennessee, Nathan had everything and threw it all away to be a nobody. Quinn Anders was 18 years old when his heart was broken for the first time. Born the son of a law enforcement officer, Quinn lost everything to become somebody. Sixteen years ago, Nathan and Quinn were best friends with a secret. Tragedy brings Quinn and Nathan together again. Grief sends them into each other’s arms. Hate threatens to separate them forever.

There’s no such thing as a Happily Ever After. Special Agent Drew Walker thought he'd never return to Tennessee after that horrific Christmas. Two and a half years later, a serial killer with a strange fascination with mutilation drags him into Nathan Truman’s jurisdiction once again. For Nathan Truman having the ‘Feeb’ around dredges up a past, he would prefer to forget. For nearly three years, he’s been able to put it all behind him and focus on his career, family, and Quinn. The past few years have done Quinn Anders a world of good. He’s happy, healthy, sober, and raising his daughter with the love of his life. As the days pass and tensions flare it becomes obvious that the events of that night, all those years ago, never truly ended for one of them. The secrets and lies that bind the three may just destroy them all.
