Fool Me Twice

When private investigator Tara Sloan walks into a neighborhood bar and grill off the Atlantic City boardwalk, she never expects to come face to face with Fred Brent. Tara and Fred had once worked together at the NYPD and been much more than colleagues before she followed her vision to relocate and start her own domestic surveillance agency, leaving both the city and Fred behind. Now she is back in his world, searching for a client's missing lover.

Fred pushes aside the heartbreak she left behind and offers to help her, even though doing so may force him to betray his longtime friend Nolan, the man at the center of Tara's investigation.

As the search grows more dangerous, their renewed partnership ignites old feelings, and Fred battles the fear that once the case is solved, Tara may walk away again.

Between their unexpected reunion and the truth behind Nolan's disappearance lies the answer to whether Tara and Fred have a future together or whether she will fool him twice.

Mystery and memory collide, shaking loose truths that were long hidden but never lost. A page-turning blend of danger, desire, and second chances.
