In a world where nothing is as it seems, one woman must follow her instincts before everything unravels.
Brooke Hill thought heading the domestic violence unit would be her dream job-until the dream turned dangerous. When a young woman named Catalina arrives with claims of abuse and an ICE detainment that doesn't add up, Brooke and her partner Dan Beal find themselves navigating a maze of half-truths, legal dead ends, and emotional landmines.
But Brooke can't shake the feeling that there's more to Catalina's story, and digging deeper means confronting her own secrets, especially when her once-steady relationship with Nick starts to crumble and an old college flame-now a charming attorney-steps back into her life, and she's forced to confront feelings she thought she'd buried.
As the lines between professional and personal blur, Brooke must navigate betrayal, emotional risk, and the lingering question:
What is Catalina hiding-and why?
Concealment,
the gripping second installment of A.E. Lee's Brooke Hill series, is a compelling legal drama exploring the cost of truth, the complexity of relationships, and the courage it takes to listen to your gut when the world says to look away.
