CROSSFIRE

**The lock clicks at 2:47 a.m.**

Nora Walker knows the sound of someone breaking in. Six months after a scandal destroyed her marriage and her law career, she's living in a rundown motel, sleeping with a knife under her pillow, waiting for the past to catch up.

But the person at her door isn't a killer.

It's her ex-husband-with a warning: the people who murdered his source are coming for Nora next.

And a secret: her father's death ten years ago wasn't an accident.

It was murder.

Now Nora is running, only to discover someone is always waiting ahead. Her mother-the woman she trusted most-has been hiding secrets for decades. Her husband-who claims he lied to "protect" her-knows more than he's telling. And a woman named Isabella-dead, alive, dead again-keeps appearing at every turn. Friend or enemy?

As Nora digs deeper, one name surfaces again and again: Alexander Vance. A ghost. A man who's been watching her since birth. The man who destroyed her family.

And when she finally finds her real father, she uncovers the cruelest truth of all-

The man she's been hunting her whole life shares her blood.

Now Nora must choose: embrace the blood she shares with a monster, or destroy him-along with the only family she has left.

But in the crossfire, every choice has a price.

And the people she trusts most are hiding one final secret.

One that will change everything.

Again.
