When a conspiracy leads to a second chance, anything can happen. At the age of twenty-two, Benita Ricci walked away from the man she loved and never looked back. He was destined for great things and having her in his life would only get in his way. Sixteen years later, time has proved her right. She may have gone on to a successful career first as an Army medic then as a member of the elite Tildas Island FBI Task Force, but he'd gone on to be the Vice President of the United States. She'd resigned herself long ago to only being a part of his life from afar. Too bad fate, and the man himself, had other plans. Calvin Matthews never knew why Nita had left him-one day she was there and the next she was gone. First to the Army and then to the FBI. But now, as a conspiracy unfolds on Tildas Island that has him at the center, he finally has the opportunity to get some answers from the one and only woman he has ever loved. But answers aren't the only thing he wants, especially once he has them. He wants her, all of her, back in his life for good. But navigating old hurts, new chances, and a tentative new future aren't the only hazards they face. There's a conspiracy threatening Cal. A conspiracy that's been quietly brewing for three years. A conspiracy that could destroy not just their chance at happiness, but American Democracy itself. Grab this thrilling conclusion to the Tildas Island Series and discover just how powerful friendship, love, and second chances can be.
