Some secrets are best left close to the bone… Jill Ellington’s twin sister hasn’t spoken a word since she allegedly murdered her husband. Her three-year-old son is missing and no one in the small, idyllic town of Paradise that Jill left behind a decade ago heard or saw a single thing.

Dr. Paul Phillips has a gift, or a curse depending upon how sober he is when asked. He agrees to review Jill’s case to settle an old debt but five minutes in Paradise and he knows he has made a monumental mistake. This is the kind of case that broke him once before and he has no desire to go down that dark path again. But there’s something about Jill Ellington that won’t let him walk away. Paul’s ability to sense what others cannot once made him a legend…but he’s not that man anymore. Yet, Jill makes him want to be the miracle she desperately needs. As they slowly unravel a web of lies that go back three generations, they uncover bone deep secrets that will rock the town of Paradise—if they can survive long enough to tell.
