DAWNPOINT

Jeffrey Baron just wants to leave his criminal past behind. But he lives in constant fear of being discovered, trapped in poverty, unable to land a respectable job. At last he has a way out. Her name is Andrea. She’s all he ever wanted. And her father has money—enough to keep them comfortable for the rest of their lives. When he walks down the aisle with her, he walks away from his mistakes for good.

But his mistakes catch up with him. He finds himself wanted for killing his own brother, scrambling to clear his name before Andrea discovers who he really is. His only hope is to make a deal with the very people that set up the murder. They’ll wipe his slate for good in exchange for his cooperation. But the deal comes at a cost—getting his life back means unleashing the deadly government conspiracy his brother died trying to expose.

Jeffrey is trapped again. Can he sacrifice his dreams to save innocent lives? Or does he make the deal, erase his past and return to Andrea totally free—with countless deaths hung forever on his shoulders? Refusing to be beaten, he has a plan to win both sides of the coin. But his web of deception could be his undoing. There may be no way out. The world will tear itself apart unless he gives up everything to stop the evil he helped unleash.

But even if he gives up everything, will it be enough?
