Last Rounds

Charlie Carter is used to caring for others-but she's never felt responsible for their secrets. When a routine end-of-shift round to a resident's room reveals signs of abuse eerily familiar from her own past, Charlie is pulled into a dangerous investigation. The trail leads her outside the safe walls of the nursing home, into a labyrinth of threatening strangers, hidden crimes, tied to a decades-old secret. Haunted by memories of domestic violence, Charlie struggles to trust those around her, including a colleague whose charm and insight might be the only thing keeping her alive-or the very thing that draws her closer to danger.
Every step she takes uncovers new layers of deception, and Charlie must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the vulnerable, confront her past, and survive a predator who knows her better than she knows herself. This gripping psychological thriller blends suspense, romance, and emotional depth, appealing to fans of complex female protagonists and dark, twisting plots.
