Journalist Brogan Gilmore had been a rising star when an unethical shortcut on a story
leads to his fall from grace. A chance encounter with convicted murderer Melender Harman a
few months after her release from prison provides Brogan with a chance for career
redemption—if he can land an interview with her.
After serving her 17-year sentence, Melender has one objective: To uncover the truth
about what happened to her cousin the night the toddler disappeared. When Brogan pursues her
for an exclusive story, she reluctantly agrees if he’ll help her reexamine the original investigation
into Jesse’s presumed kidnapping and murder.
While re-investigating the case, Brogan struggles to keep his objectivity as he begins to
believe Melender is innocent of the crime—and starts to envision a possible future together.
Then a hocking discovery throws their relationship—and investigation—into turmoil.
As Brogan and Melender come closer to solving what happened to Jesse, will their
budding relationship survive the truth?
Book Excerpt
“Just one.” Brogan poised his pen over the notebook. “What’s her name?”
“Mel Harman.” Mr. Patel gestured toward the door. “You can meet her. She just pulled
into parking lot.”

Melender Harman put her Honda Accord into park outside the Kwikie Mart and checked
the dashboard clock. Four-thirty. Good, she’d have enough time after her visit with Mr. Patel to
stop by the grocery store down the street before starting her overnight shift. She enjoyed the
solitary nature of her job, cleaning stores and offices while most of the world slept. Tonight, she
had a new client on her list, which meant Squeaky Clean’s owner, Janice Butram, would be
sending along another cleaner to keep them on schedule.
Melender, who had shortened her unusual first name to “Mel” to avoid questions about its
origin and to camouflage her background, stepped into the convenience store, the overhead bell
announcing her entrance. Behind the counter, Mr. Patel chatted with a tall, handsome blond man
wearing jeans and an old leather bomber jacket. The man held a small notebook and looked in
her direction when she entered.
