Anna Boyd thought she escaped danger, but a deadly adversary pulls her back into a perilous game. With her sister and boyfriend captured, Anna must defy all rules, even allying with a lesser evil, to protect her loved ones. As threats loom and trust becomes a deadly gamble, Anna's fight for freedom turns into a battle for survival. Can she outsmart her hidden enemies before it's too late?

From the publisher

Don’t miss this thrilling mystery from Ashley Elston, author of the New York Times bestseller and Reese’e Book Club pick First Lie Wins! Anna Boyd almost lost her life to get what she wanted most in the world: freedom. But just when it seems that her family has finally escaped Witness Protection, the illusion that Anna could resume a normal life comes crashing down. The deadly man Anna knows as Thomas is still on the loose, and now he’s using her as a pawn in a dangerous game with the drug cartel determined to silence her forever. When Thomas and a mysterious masked man capture not only Anna but also her fragile younger sister and her boyfriend, Anna decides it’s time to break all the rules-even if it means teaming up with the lesser of two evils. Anna will do whatever it takes to protect the people she loves and win her life back once and for all. But her true enemies are hidden in plain sight. Before long, Anna will learn that putting her trust in anyone may be the last mistake she ever makes.
