Dive into small-town secrets in this brand new contemporary romance series from USA Today Bestselling Authors J.H. Croix & Ali Parker! A small town can hide many secrets. It can also expose every secret you have. Facing danger I never expected, I don’t know who I can trust. Meanwhile, Niki’s in more danger, and it’s all because she tried to help me. I’ll do whatever is necessary to keep her safe. She rattles the cage around my heart and makes me wonder if I could have more. She’s everything I could ever imagine wanting. Yet, events careen beyond my control as I search deeper into what put my father behind bars. I’m not safe, my family’s not safe, and Niki’s not safe. She’s also feisty and stubborn and resists my efforts to keep her safe. She doesn’t like being kept in the dark and can’t see I’m only doing it to protect her. I’m not ready to face what she means to me, not ready to lay my heart on the line. Until she calls my bluff. *This is Book 2 of the Slow & Steady trilogy. There is a cliffhanger and you will need to buy book 3 to finish the series.
