In fact, Alex is a Wall Street whistle-blower under witness protection…and he’s brought a world of trouble to the Lantz doorstep. As Ella comes to trust-even love-a man so utterly worldly, she realizes her life has already changed forever.When it becomes violently clear that even the Home Valley is no refuge, Ella and Alex are driven into the wider world to hide. And with such a high price placed on their silence, they may not survive to share their love…."Harper, a master of suspense, keeps readers guessing about crime and love until the very end." -Booklist, starred review, on Fall from Pride
