Synopsis

**The new novel from the bestselling author of Fallen City and The Unmaking of June Farrow**

James and Johnny Golden have only ever had each other.

For as long as she can remember, James's connection with her twin has gone beyond intuition - she can feel what he feels. So when Johnny is killed in a tragic accident, James knows before her phone even rings that she's alone - truly alone - for the first time in her life.

When James arrives in the rural town of Hawthorne, California to settle her brother's affairs, she's forced to relive the past and finally face Micah, the only man she's ever loved.

But the more she immerses herself into his world, the more questions she has about the brother she thought she knew. Johnny was keeping secrets, and he's not the only one.

What she uncovers will push her to unravel what happened in the days before Johnny's death. In the end, she'll have to decide which truths should come to light, and which should stay buried forever . . .
