I went to a bar to forget. Instead, I met the one man tied to everything I'd spent a decade trying to bury. I caught my fiancé in bed with my best friend.
Five years. A lifelong friendship. Gone in a single heartbeat—and I wasn't about to stand there and listen to their excuses.
So I found the darkest corner of a hotel bar and set out to drink away five wasted years, one glass at a time.
I was almost numb when he decided to interrupt. Tall, gorgeous, wrapped in a suit that cost more than my rent—telling me to slow down.
Who did he think he was? If I wanted to drown my sorrows, I would.
That's the last thing I remember.
I woke up the next morning in his bed, in his clothes, with no idea how I got there—and a pair of piercing blue eyes watching my every move.
I should have walked away. But there's so much more to the ruthless businessman than the world is allowed to see… and the closer I get, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas Lockhart is tangled up in the one past I'd give anything to forget.
Some secrets don't stay buried.
Some of them come back wearing a familiar face.
Silent No More is the first book in a dark, twisty romantic-suspense duet—brimming with secrets, obsession, and a hero who'll burn the world down to protect what's his. It ends on a cliffhanger and concludes in Silent Guilt, available now.

Hi, I’m Nancy. I’m a mom, wife, writer, obsessed reader, and fiction whore to the chore. I’m an introvert. It takes me a minute to warm up to people, but once I do, you’ll probably never get me to shut up. I live in the south. Mississippi to be exact. I love warm sunny days and I despise cold and raining weather. I have a love/hate relationship with my Bull Terrier, Xena. The little winch thinks my husband belongs to her when he most certainly does not; he belongs to me. I love to read possibly even more than I love to write. That can be a problem when I have fictional people taking up room in my head and screaming to get out. They don’t understand why I can’t give them my full attention. In my free time, I love riding my Can Am Maverick and finding new off road trails. I’m a city girl, married to a country boy, who likes to get a little dirty and sometimes muddy. Even though I don’t do it often, I love roller coasters. The steel coasters that is. I hate the wooden ones. Readers, connect with me. I love hearing from you and reading your reviews. xoxo, NE Henderson www.nehenderson.com
