Tara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781998422470)

Some secrets don't stay buried. Some choices don't come without a cost.Tara Stefanski lived a simple life in Cornwall, Ontario-a steady job as a school bus driver, a close-knit family, and a future she understood. Until one moment shattered everything.After a traumatic accident behind the wheel of her school bus, Tara walks away from the life she knows and disappears to a truck stop diner two hours away in Napanee, Ontario, seeking a fresh start. But when her regular customer vanishes one day, leaving behind a mysterious black gym bag filled with cash-and a key to Tara's past-her new life quickly spirals out of control.Days later, the man is found murdered. And Tara is the last person to see him alive. As suspicion closes in, a woman from Tara's past emerges with answers she never asked for-and secrets that should have stayed buried. Katia Nowak knows who Tara really is. What she wants, however, is far more chilling.When Tara refuses to play along, the consequences are devastating. Her parents were murdered. Her teenage daughter is taken and used as a pawn in a human trafficking ring, facing a fate worse than death. And Tara is forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse with her adversary, where there are no rules and only death the final outcome.With only three hours to save her daughter, Tara must make an impossible choice-one that will define who she truly is. Because this time, walking away isn't an option.
