Five: 5 women, 5 assaults, 5 victims (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798315269618)

Denver trembles under the weight of fear. Five women, each carrying a harrowing tale of assault, their stories eerily similar. The evidence is compelling, and the accusations are unwavering. And at the center of it all-Dr. Noah Borroughs, a respected Lakewood dentist whose reputation now drowns under the weight of monstrous allegations.

For the victims, justice seems within reach. The case is airtight. Every path leads back to him. But one person refuses to believe it.

Skylar Kayne was once one of Denver's top detectives, a woman with an unshakable instinct for truth. But four years ago, she walked away from the badge, buried under her own secrets. Now, she stands at a precipice. The man she built her life with is accused of unimaginable horrors. The world sees him as a predator, but she sees the man she loves.

Desperation drives her to a place she swore she'd never return-to the doorstep of David Ferry, a former government agent whose past is as shadowed as his methods. He's the last person she should trust, but in a world where lies coil around her like a noose, he may be the only one who can help her untangle the truth.

Together, they peel back layers of deception, chasing whispers and shadows through a city that wants Dr. Borroughs' head on a pike. But every answer births new questions. Every lead only seems to tighten the rope around his neck. Skylar wants to believe in his innocence, but the evidence refuses to bend. The victims' voices are clear, their pain undeniable.

Yet something is wrong. Too neat. Too perfect. A setup? Or something far worse?

As they dig deeper, Skylar and Ferry uncover a trail of deceit designed to cover another's crime-another's parinoya. Someone is orchestrating this-someone who knows exactly where to strike, how to destroy, and how to turn the world against a man who may not be guilty at all.

But in this web of manipulation, Skylar is faced with one terrifying possibility. The truth may not set her free. The truth may be the deadliest betrayal of all.

Because in a game of deception, sometimes the person standing closest to you holds the knife.
