Noah Montgomery is dead. Tess Montgomery has vanished. And Detective Embry Archer is determined to bring her to justice. As Embry digs deeper into the case, one horrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore: Stella Everett is serving a life sentence for crimes that were never truly hers. Having confessed to protect the woman she loved, Stella believed Tess was worth the sacrifice. She was wrong. Behind Tess Montgomery's carefully crafted mask lies a history of violence, manipulation, and deception.
And now, with Noah dead and the evidence mounting, Embry is convinced of the unthinkable-that Tess murdered her own son. With Tess on the run and the police closing in, the race is on to expose the truth before more lives are destroyed. Working together from opposite sides of prison walls, Embry and Stella begin rebuilding the case that could finally set Stella free. But Tess knows the net is tightening.
And she has nothing left to lose. Desperate, dangerous, and spiralling toward the edge, Tess is determined to take revenge before justice can catch her. As the threat grows closer, Embry finds herself risking everything-not only for the case, but for Stella, the woman she's formed an undeniable connection with. Now, with time running out and danger closing in, Embry must uncover the final pieces of the truth before Tess strikes again.
Because setting Stella Everett free may come at a deadly cost. Find out in.The Everett Files.
