Melissa Neffordt thought she’d found refuge in Albany-a place to disappear after scandal destroyed her TV career in New York. But refuge turns to prison when opportunity and danger collide: an exclusive interview with the notorious ＂Park South Killer＂ that could resurrect her career or end her life.

Then she meets Emiliano in a smoke-filled dive bar. Dark eyes. Cartel tattoo. Pure danger wrapped in forbidden allure. He saves her from a gang-but pulls her into something far more deadly.

Now Melissa is caught in a vortex of murder investigations, gang warfare, and a fatal attraction to a man who carries a Glock and secrets that could destroy them both. As bodies pile up and her own dark past surfaces, she realizes the biggest threat isn’t the criminals hunting her-it’s the truth about who she really is.

In Albany’s shadows, trust is a luxury and truth is the deadliest weapon. Some women reinvent themselves. Others discover they never knew themselves at all.
