Not so long ago, desire found Breesan Maxwell, young and vulnerable. Then soon after, this blessing became her downfall. Marcus Walker stole her love and then abandoned her.

Since meeting Marcus and his identical twin, Morgan, Breesan suffered one unbelievable twist after another, leaving her in an unfamiliar tangled mess. The dust settles. Breesan heads off to college, again implementing safeguards that block out everything and everyone who caused the fray.

But the past refuses to let go. Someone is stalking every step Breesan takes. Is it her overprotective father who hired a tail to watch after the daughter he abandoned for the greater good? Or is this one more step on her mentally deranged mother’s agenda to destroy Breesan? The secrets and lies are stacking up, and with the added friendly trickery of her BFFs, who needs enemies? Too bad she has those too, and this time, a few offer their allegiance in this shameless venture.

In her heart, Marcus once belonged, and his love was worth more than some ridiculous Jaded Rock fated-love legend he filled her head with one special night on Willow Island. The memories haunt her dreams. Her former lover resurfaces, but not everything is as it seems. He wants her trust, but forgiveness isn't cheap.

The threats continue. Once again, everyone around her is endangered, forcing this young woman to endure inconceivable pain. Fortifying her weakened heart once more is Breesan’s only chance of escaping it. Mayhem isn’t a new adversary. What poses more heartache in this vile game of risk is dealing with her ultimate downfall – losing love.

Surviving means someone has to make the first move toward trusting. Can she do it after All Secrets & Lies?
