Kaden had never wanted to keep anything from Sherlyn. But now, the truth hovered between them like a blade ready to drop. Because whatever had happened… her father had been part of it too.

"Listen to me, Sherlyn. There's something you need to know," Kaden said, his voice low but steady. He had made up his mind—it was time to confess everything.
