Book excerpt: Sometimes the truth hurts more than the lies… Detective Cole Banks never knew life could be this good. He's got a job he loves, a partner he wants to build a life with, and he's finally reconnecting with his old Marine squad. They're still looking for answers to the event that resulted in the death of a Raider and the disappearance of another, but the search for the truth will have to take the backseat when danger comes knocking. Revenge was never Detective Cade Lawson's cup of tea, but someone from his past has waited a decade to get even. That someone should be rotting in a black site CIA prison, but now he's back, and he wants to ruin the life Cade has fought so hard to build. The lies and deceit are quickly catching up with him and the only thing he can do is hope that it won't tarnish the future he so desperately wants with Cole. When Cade risks everything to keep the people he loves safe, Cole and the Raiders find themselves in an uneasy alliance with someone they aren't sure they can trust as they race against time to rescue Cade.
