About this ebook

She quit drinking the day her mother died. Now she has to stay sober long enough to prove it wasn’t an accident.

Former detective Harper Adams is only days into sobriety when she realizes her mother’s car accident wasn’t an accident at all. The faded skid marks on the bridge. The drugs in her tox screen. The packed suitcase in the trunk, for a trip her homebody mother never mentioned. Something sinister happened—and Harper is determined to uncover the truth.

To do that, she accepts the assistance of the last man she should trust: James Malcolm, a crime boss with a shadowy past. He insists he’s only trying to help. Harper isn’t sure whether his offer is about justice or something else entirely, but she decides it’s safer to work with the devil you know. Malcolm gets results—and results are what she needs.

As Harper digs deeper, she unearths secrets powerful people want to keep buried. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.

Staying sober is hard. Facing what really happened to her mother might destroy her.

Bloodyhell!! That ending sent me spiraling!! What am I supposed to do now. The third installment in the Harper Adams series is a book I have been patiently waiting on and it did not disappoint. It was such an addicting read. I wanted to savor every second of it. I especially loved seeing a different side of James. Harper is finally working through her addiction and recovery. My heart goes out to her but I’m happy to see that she’s starting to see the light. Harper has come a long way

This was a much anticipated read and it did not disappoint (hence it being on my top reads list). This is going to be a short and sweet review as long time readers are going to devour this book just like I did and I don't want to spoil a second. I will say that I fell in love with both main characters even more for many reasons, but her strength and his 'softness' were right up there. I cannot wait to see what trouble this pair drag us into next.

**Do not read this as a standalone.** You must read the first 2 Harper books or else this one won't make sense as it literally picks up where the 2nd book ends. You do not have to have read the Rose Gardner series though. But she ties in just enough breadcrumbs from the Rose world that you'll definitely wanna go back and read all those books if you haven't already. I laughed...I gasped...I fell even more in love with James than I already was. Seriously
