Until the day the system proved me wrong.
Now I’m back on Hatterwick Island with nothing left—no career, no credibility, and no illusions about the law I once trusted. The only thing heavier than the guilt I carry is knowing I once turned my back on someone who didn’t deserve it.
Rios Carrera.
Twelve years ago, my cousin vanished. He was the last one to see her alive—and I believed the whispers that he was responsible. I made him the villain of the story, and he has every reason to hate me for it.
But when another stranger disappears and the police chief turns a blind eye, Rios is the only one willing to help me look for answers.
Reluctant allies soon become something more dangerous. Because the closer we get to exposing the rot that’s poisoned this island for decades, the more I realize justice isn’t black and white…and the man I once accused may be the only one I can trust with my life—and my heart.
