When a shattered love resurfaces, so do the lies that broke it.

Riley Combs returns home to Portland on a multipronged mission: find a missing War Dog, confront the family who destroyed Riley’s life, and get one last look at the woman who broke his heart.

However, when Gail Montoya learns the truth about the betrayal that split them apart, her world implodes all over again—because the lies weren’t just cruel, they were engineered to send Riley into a war zone.

As old wounds and family power games and secrets buried in the Shanghai tunnels collide, Riley and Gail must decide whether love can survive the truth. With danger closing in underground and redemption on the line, one lost dog may be the key to exposing a deadly scheme—and maybe giving two damaged hearts a second chance.

​​​​​A gritty, emotional romance … full of suspense, family drama, and hard-won hope.
