Kelsey’s sole purpose in life is to keep four-year-old Pipa safe. Conceived in a violent, drug-induced rampage, Pipa is being hunted by the man responsible. He wants her dead, and no matter how far Kelsey and Pipa run, the brewing storm is never far behind. Protection lies in Kelsey’s hometown of White Wattle Creek in the form of Ethan, the man who’d always been her safe place. The one she loved. And the one who broke her heart. But she not only has Ethan to face when she returns. The emotional abuse of her past and the truth surrounding Pipa’s existence both rain down on her from the clouds gathering overhead. When Kelsey finally opens her heart to Ethan, her nightmares tip over into reality, and with Pipa’s future hanging in the balance, Kelsey must find the strength within to fight for their right to happiness … before the storm breaks.

Closely guarded secrets. A sinister shadow from her past. Will the truth set her free? Carol has a tough exterior and relies on no one. She has her motorbike and her dog, and that’s all she needs. But underneath the hard shell she presents to the world, she’s fighting hard to put her sordid past behind her. Except when her manipulative ex shows up, he proves his power over her is still strong. To make matters worse, when she comes face to face with Blake, the new guy in town, he reminds her of the one she’s trying to escape. She wants nothing to do with him, only Blake keeps proving that while he might look like the one haunting her, he couldn’t be more different. As Carol slowly begins to open her heart to Blake and discovers a new world of love and tenderness, the hold her ex has on her tightens. She has a choice to make—submit to the monster’s control or find the strength to break free once and for all. Will she let her past destroy her future? Or will she shatter the silence with the truth?
