He came to her with nothing left but the truth. She came with too many secrets to count.
Heath Velasco’s non-profit for foster kids was supposed to matter. Now it’s gone—and so is the money, and apparently, his reputation. It’s getting hard to prove he didn’t steal it when the evidence says otherwise. Getting arrested was bad enough. Getting arrested in front of Hazel Hale was something else entirely.
Hazel has been back in Belle Hollow for just over a year, and she’s just barely managed to stay out of the gossips mouths. The fathers of her daughters are her business and no one else’s. She ran at sixteen, following spells, bad decisions, and a heart that kept trusting the wrong men. Every time she thought she’d found what she was looking for, she only managed to dig the hole deeper.
Now, she has her grandmother to care for. She has her daughters to raise. She has a centuries-old family curse to untangle. She does not have room for Heath Velasco and his very legitimate, very complicated trouble.
He knows she’s right. He also can’t stop thinking about her.
Out on bail with no one to trust and everything to prove, Heath has to find out who set him up—before they finish the job. But the deeper he gets into the truth, the more tangled his life becomes with Hazel’s. He holds her secrets now. And she might be the only one who can save him.
The question is whether either of them can survive what happens when they stop pretending this is just about the curse.
Arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, Heath Velasco has nothing left to lose. Except her. And he never even had her.
