Some secrets refuse to stay buried . . . Olive Sterling thought time off from her job would finally give her the chance to uncover the truth about her family’s unsolved murders. The man she believes holds the answers is none other than the father of Jason Stewart—her former boyfriend and current colleague. But when that man turns up wounded and then vanishes, Olive has no choice but to bring Jason into the hunt. When Jason discovers Olive went behind his back to investigate his father, the betrayal cuts deep, threatening the fragile trust between them. Yet with his father missing, Jason can’t stay on the sidelines. Together, Olive and Jason search for the truth, following the evidence back to Oasis, Texas—the town where their story first began. But every answer uncovers more questions, and each step pulls them deeper into danger. Secrets from past and present collide. Can Olive and Jason unravel the mystery before the peril surrounding the truth consumes them both? Or will the answers they seek destroy them forever?
