Robbie Bailey has been her friend since they were kids — the former deputy is back in school now and figuring out what comes next. Carrie’s been his secret crush for years—through school, through the sheriff’s department, through every shift he spent trying not to look at her too long. Coming back to town to be by her side is a simple choice, and he has no intention of wasting the chance to be the shoulder she cries on.
The detectives working on Ron’s murder discover he lived a life nobody in Olman County knew anything about. They keep finding pieces that don’t belong to him—and the farther they dig, the less any of it seems to be about Ron at all.
Carrie has been someone else’s secret since the day she was born.
