Oakley Winchester has known who her true mate is for more than a decade, but that hasn’t stopped her from carrying on a casual relationship with both him and his brother for years. With the guilt about her parent’s deaths eating her alive, Oakley would rather punish herself by refusing to pursue happiness.
Still, her true mate has stood by her the entire time, letting her grieve and hurt him alongside herself just to avoid losing her all together. He’s accepted her encounters with his brother and the pain of having to wait for her because he’s the only person who knows why she feels so much guilt.
But when Oakley is finally ready to face her demons, someone close to the Winchester family begins to show slivers of his true identity. Oakley’s true mate has always been able to see through the imposter’s mask, and when Oakley starts to notice something’s off, her mate is ready to protect her from this danger once and for all. But Oakley thinks they can uncover a connection to the recent crimes in the area if she stays close, and she’s willing to risk it all.
Oakley and her mate start their amateur investigation, uncovering information critical to Wyatt’s investigation of Vargkung and the Mirror Lake drug ring. But will it be enough evidence to prove anything? And what happens when the enemy who’s been closer than they all thought possible is willing to take them all down with him?
