Inside this book
Just when Ruby thought her life was beginning to regain some balance, and that the presence of her young daughter, Mia, might give her a chance at a fresh start… the past returns to turn everything upside down.
In a world where there is no room for trust, Marcel… 005 appears—a mysterious man whose cold exterior hides a harsh childhood no one could imagine, and a past filled with secrets and bloodshed. A former hitman for the Patro organization, where he left behind a trail of corpses and unanswered questions.
Marcel isn’t just a mysterious man… he’s someone who has spent a long time running from his past, until the day came when he was forced to confront it. Amid childhood memories, buried secrets, and unforgivable betrayals, his paths cross once again with Ruby and Mia.
But this time, things won’t be the same as before.
Judy is dead… but the secrets of the Patro Organization did not die with her.
As new clues emerge, leading to an even more dangerous truth, Ruby begins to realize that what she experienced was only a small part of a much bigger story—a story that weaves together love and fear, revenge and forgiveness, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Can Marcel escape the monster his childhood created?
And will Ruby be able to protect her daughter when the truth is closer to her than ever before?
And in the end… who is Sapphire?
A novel full of mystery, secrets, conflicting emotions, and surprises that will make the reader rethink every character and every event… because this time, the truth may be more dangerous than fiction.
