Twenty-seven-year-old detective Carlo Mancini is your average do-good kind-of-guy with an insatiable appetite for justice. However, Carlo has one personal setback: his inability to let a senseless crime become a cold case. His obsession to uphold the law has led him on a ten-year, dead-end search for the infamous IOU thief.
Twenty-six-year-old Mia Baker lives a normal life: a quaint apartment overlooking Central Park, cherished friends, and Pirate, her one-eyed cat. To most people, Mia’s life seems perfect; but to Mia, that couldn’t be further from the truth—especially when her disturbing past comes back to haunt her.
When Detective Mancini bangs on Mia’s front door, he has no idea he will soon unravel some disturbing truths about himself, and the woman in front of him. One chance encounter can destroy the very fabric of their woven lives when Carlo realizes reality is not always black and white…
. . . Especially when secrets are involved.
Please note: The original I.O.U. cover is still available in paperback and hardback. I’ve changed the eBook cover to coincide with future books in the saga.

OMG I loved this book. I cried so hard when James took her at the compound and we thought her family was all killed. You killed me with the last line in this book. I can’t wait for the next story in this saga.
Thank you Robyn!!! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the book. Snap Shot should be released June 1st. So not much longer to wait. Honestly, I cried while I was writing that part when James took her. It even happens to the writer while it’s being written.
) Thanks again.
