When trust becomes a matter of life or death... 
Heart Searlington, captain of the seventy-fourth precinct in 
Brooklyn, New York, has everything she could ever want. The sexy as sin 
husband, the perfect house, and the perfect addition to their family, 
four-month-old Amare. 
But when a senseless act of violence threatens the lives of two 
people she loves, Heart does what comes natural to her…she protects 
what’s hers. 
Kenneth Searlington, billionaire real estate tycoon, is living the 
ultimate dream—family, friends, and wealth. Life couldn’t be more 
perfect, until trusting the wrong friend puts his life on the line. 
When he can’t trust friends or family, Kenneth takes matters into 
his own hands. Who should Kenneth trust? The wife who lied, or the 
friend and family who betrayed him? Maybe the only person he can trust 
is himself? 
When protecting the heart she loves forces Heart to omit certain 
truths about herself and those she loves, can Kenneth see past her 
betrayal long enough for her to keep him alive?
