Gabby Mastreoni has been in love with Christoff Scutari since she was four years old. Their fathers are in the same dirty business, and nearly twenty years later, their families remain close. With four older brothers, Gabby leads a protected and sheltered life—until she and Christoff cross a line, and she discovers that love can hurt people.

With no other choice, she runs to California, and start life anew as Brie Masters. 

Brie has found herself a home surrounded by loving friends and her brother, Nicco, who comes to keep her safe, but she soon learns that she can run away from her past. No matter how many miles she puts between herself and her former life, she is still running: Danger followed her and when it starts to effect those around her, she is forced to flee back home, to Gabby’s life and the last person she wants to ask for help. There all of her secrets will be exposed.

The Cross My Heart Duet

    "She's coming to New York." Nicco's voice comes over the line, telling me of Gabby's recent plans.


    Relief sweeps over me. I have wanted her out of California for weeks now.


    "She and the girls and their mothers will be on a nine a.m. flight tomorrow morning. It should land at JFK sometime around five p.m. your time."


    "Airline and flight number?" I ask.


    "Private jet, which works well. No tickets, no passenger list, no paper trail. Dante can't possibly know she's leaving or where she is going."


    "Good. That's very good. Do we know where they are staying yet?"
