First published 2013
Kayden's buried secret has surfaced, and now he stares down battery charges that could destroy his future. Only Callie holds the key to clearing his name, but he refuses to ask her to testify. He would rather sacrifice himself than force her to relive painful memories in court. Callie watches Kayden retreat into the darkness that once consumed him. She knows she must act to save the boy she loves, even if it means breaking the silence she has maintained for years. Speaking her truth terrifies her, but losing Kayden forever scares her more. With Seth and Luke supporting her, Callie devises a plan to pull Kayden back from the edge. She wants to show him the future they could build together, free from the shadows of their past. But Kayden has convinced himself that protecting Callie means walking away from their love. As the legal case moves forward, both must confront whether their bond can survive the weight of secrets finally spoken aloud.
