From USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire comes an angsty survivor romance full of secrets, and the final interconnected standalone in the Sugarlake series.

Lily Adams ran away and never looked back. She got herself clean and lives a sober life, working hard to give her son a good home in a place where they’ll be safe.

It’s been years since she left Sugarlake, and the last thing she’d expect is her brother sending someone to find her.

Mason Wells is the best private investigator in Tennessee. Tasked with the mission of hunting down Lily Adams, he knows he’s the perfect man for the job. At least he thought he was, until he actually finds her.

Immediately, Mason feels a pull. He needs to know the perky, dark-haired woman and the son she loves more than the world.

Before he can stop himself, he’s inserted himself into their lives, fake name and all, and even though he tells himself it’s temporary, every day he spends with Lily, the weight of his secrets push down on him more.

When Mason’s past catches up to him, putting Lily and her son’s life in danger, he knows he has to do something major to keep them safe.

Even if it means breaking both their hearts and losing them for good.

I love this author’s writing style and this entire series altogether. However, this audible doesn’t finish Chapter 43, specifically page 266. It ends too early and jumpers straight into chapter 44.

I love Emily McIntire

When you don’t want anyone to find you… you run and never look back.

This is the 4th book in the Sugarlake series and it was about Lily and Mason “Alex”. I have to say, this is my favorite book out of the whole series. Both Lily and Alex had their own demons that they were battling and they found love in each other despite everything that was against them. They made each other stronger and loved each other through everything. I love how everyone left Sugarlake but in the end everyone returned back to Sugarlake. This whole series is worth the read!

Sooooo Gooood

This book was darker than I expected. Lilly has been through so much, and her story was so heartbreaking! I respect her for getting clean, especially for her son. Mason has his own demons and falls for Lilly, forming a bond with her son and breaking through Lilly’s walls.

Such a great series, each story is well rounded within itself but I love how the author leads you at the end of each book to the next story. Each story highlights characters are different and complex and the final book does not disappoint!

Great from beginning to end!
