Laurel Bailey is a great detective. Her personal life isn't so great: she's dealing with her ex-husband who still wants her back, and trying to figure out what kind of relationship she wants with her new boyfriend, family law lawyer Alex Parrish. When a distraught father rushes into the police station to report his infant daughter missing, Laurel is eager to investigate. Alex is pushing for a commitment, and she uses the investigation as an excuse to avoid him. But her investigation ends up leading her straight to him: as more kids go missing, he's the only connection. When Alex is arrested, Laurel is determined to prove his innocence. She risks her career, and her own freedom, to dig into his life and his past. But the things she finds may not clear his name. Has Laurel risked everything for a man who didn't deserve it? Or can she and Alex find the proof they need to establish his innocence?

"I think your mother had an affair with my business partner." With that one statement, everything Lacey thinks she believes come crashing down around her. Everything she thought she knew has turned out to be a lie, and no one will tell her the truth. As she investigates the past, trying to sort truth from lies, she's grateful for Jon. At least he's on her side. After a devastating betrayal by his wife, Jon has sworn off love. He'll commit to fun and sex, but he makes sure that women understand he won't commit to anything beyond that. His instant attraction to Lacey surprises him, then, because she seems so innocent. What surprises him more are the feelings he begins to feel for her. Just as he's about to tell her how he feels, Lacey discovers the secrets he's been keeping. Can they move past it? Even if they can, is Lacey keeping her own secrets that might destroy what's left of them?

Meadow's marriage to Sander Hanson wasn't the stuff of fairy tales, but she didn't think it was all that horrible. It's only after his death that she finds out that he was keeping secrets. It starts with unexplained credit card charges, and women's names in a little black book. Then there's the secret bank account. Stetson Christensen had been in business with Sander for many years, but he'd stopped liking the man personally a very long time ago. So when Meadow approaches him and asks for help, he has no problem doing what she asked. Time spent in close proximity brings their long hidden desire for each other to the surface. Stetson doesn't want a relationship, and Meadow knows it's not the right time for one. But they can't keep ignoring their attraction, and they can't get away from each other. Uncovering the dead man's secrets shows them a depravity that neither of them had realized existed. The more they learn, the more they begin to realize they could be in serious danger. They have to find all of Sander's secrets in order to protect themselves, and the only ones they can trust are each other. Will they find everything they need to know in time? Or will Meadow and her children pay for Sander's sins?
