Hannah Hall is a Sausalito woodturner, one year into marriage with Owen Michaels, when a neighborhood kid hands her a two-word note: Protect her. Owen is gone. His privacy-software company is being raided. His sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey, wants nothing to do with her stepmother — until a duffel bag of cash and a trail that leads to Austin force them to work as a team. A page-turner about what you owe a person you love, and how much of their past you are allowed not to know.
“Gotta pick a piece of wood. It all starts with picking a good piece of wood. If that's no good, you have nowhere good to go.”
