It began with a call…a secret code she’d been taught as a child without ever believing she’d have to use it…an attempted murder…and the last man on earth she wanted to be within ten feet of.
Danae knew before she ever heard her brother’s voice that it was bad…and it didn’t take long to find out just how bad it was. She and everyone in her family had always understood the high cost of secrets…and quickly learned that sometimes the price of truths was far more costly.
It took her even less time to realize that she’d never really known true heart-stopping fear.
She knew what it was now and that the heart-pounding terror she’d experienced in those handful of moments when a gun was pointed at her brother as they stood to one side of the ridge was something she was never going to forget.
