Six years ago, Noah vanished after stealing a treasured heirloom from the Shire family—and left behind the boy he couldn’t bring himself to kill. Now, a washed up alcoholic and consumed by guilt, Noah hears that Henry Shire, the boy he abandoned, can't take his rightful place as heir because the stolen heirloom is still missing. Driven by the need to make amends, he returns under the cover of night to quietly return the ring and put the past to rest. But when he’s caught by Henry—no longer a young boy—Noah finds himself pulled back into a tangled web of guilt, obsession, and a desire that never truly died.
