Paperback. A Mafia Boss steps out of his restaurant on an early Saturday morning. Two shots, muffled, from afar, deadly, and lives are overturned. It had to be the work of a professional sniper. They will never catch him, though they are duty bound to try. John Hart, Homicide, tackles his toughest case. Who ordered the hit? Why? The obvious suspect is Arno Gianni, the Don of the rival Mafia family. Suspicions don't convict anyone. He needs evidence and a solid story for how it came together. He needs a motive. She calls herself Harper. She lives in the shadows. Every day is a test of survival, safety, warmth, food, and education. She doesn't feel. Emotions take her to pain and heartbreak. They pull her back into a sad past. Someday she will be older, willing to think of a future. Someday she will come into the dim. By herself? No, she hasn't faced it, but she will need a pillar of strength, someone to trust. She didn't need to help Hart. He's a cop after all and that makes him an enemy. But, justice must be done. She won't let the guilty get away with this crime. Did you ever find a bird with a broken wing? Were you compelled to catch it, mend the broken, feed it and help it get strong? Could you release it and let it soar? John Hart, when you find her will you mend her brokenness? Will you pull her from the shadows? She wants to soar.

Evidence points to a rival crime family, but nothing is strong enough to make the charge stick. Detective John Hart, born into a family of cops, is assigned to the case. The questions won’t leave him alone:
How did the hitman get inside?
How did he know the boss would be there that night?
And who orchestrated the perfect crime?
Enter Harper.
She’s lived in foster homes and orphanages since infancy. At fourteen, she ran away and learned how to survive unseen—living in the shadows, trusting no one. Her sharp instincts and inquisitive nature draw her dangerously close to the investigation… and straight into Hart’s path.
Getting involved with a cop is Harper’s worst nightmare.
Trust has never kept her safe.
But Hart may be different.
As secrets surface and the case inches toward the truth, Harper and Hart are pulled into a relationship neither of them planned—and neither can ignore. Solving the crime could expose powerful enemies. Trusting each other could cost them everything.
There’s a case to solve.
A past that refuses to stay buried.
And a woman who must decide if it’s finally time to step out of the shadows—and into the light
