Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Remington looked down at the woman in his arms, her life hanging by a thread, feeling as if he had swallowed a scorching iron.

How could he tell her that his findings had nothing to do with the West family, and that someone else was behind it all? She probably wouldn't believe him anyway.
