Violation — Darian North

Haunted by a savage attack that forever changed her life, Thea Auben is determined to provide a safe home for her son, David, the only gift of a buried past. In a small California town, Thea believes she has found refuge. But her haven is about to be shattered by the very person she is trying to protect. Because David is tired of hiding... and of lies about a father who died before his birth.

Against his better judgment, ex-L.A. cop Jack Verrity rented his secluded house to the woman and her son. He had no idea he was about to be swept into a cross-country search --for a boy, for the truth--and for a life he thought he'd left far behind.

When David disappears, Thea and Jack's lives converge in a hunt plagued by deception and danger. And Thea soon faces a shocking realization that the truth she has worked so hard to hide may not be the truth at all....
