Fawn Conall knew life would be hard for a 15 year old runaway, but she was willing to take her chances to escape her abusive foster home. She was determined to find her way back to the mother from whom she’d been stolen, the only clues to her identity a jade heirloom and visions of a woman she didn’t know.

After seven years of running, when her heart and mind become exhausted from the struggle to stay ahead of her pursuers, her only recourse to escape them is death. All she wants first is to feel love, even if it’s an illusion.

Dangerous and difficult journeys are commonplace to Garrett Fagan. When the 27 year old field agent of Pinkerton Detective Agency isn’t following cases, he’s tracking members of the Society of The Four Flowers as the Order of The Horned Tigers’ greatest assassin.

Upon his return after one such assignment, he encounters Fawn, the agency’s new quick-witted and sharp-tongued employee. After learning Lucas Pinkerton has bestowed upon her full control over the building’s security, Garrett is determined to discover her true intent.

In the midst of acclimating himself to the changes made in his absence, Garrett becomes captivated by his mysterious new neighbor. All he knows of her is the nightly crying through his walls and disturbing secrets she reveals through texts. Against his brother’s advice, Garrett begins a relationship with the woman he never expected behind the soulful words.

Through a chain of shocking revelations, both Fawn and Garrett learn love and loyalty aren’t always enough to hide from the dangers lurking behind every brick and shadow. Elements of the past grow and shape the lives of modern society. Inheritances aren’t always what they seem, and what was a saving grace in ancient times becomes a weapon only the dead can cure.
