Before You Discover Me

Seven years ago, Claire Wolfe disappeared without a trace. The case was closed, powerful witnesses remained silent, and the truth was buried. Now, anonymous recordings are exposing the secrets of everyone connected to her disappearance. Audrey Carter, an ambitious investigative journalist, is determined to uncover what happened to her sister. Her investigation leads her to Nathan Wolfe, a charming crisis lawyer whose talent for protecting powerful people makes him both her greatest lead and her most dangerous suspect. Nathan knows more about Claire’s disappearance than he admits. Yet as Audrey investigates him, their mutual suspicion turns into an irresistible attraction. Every stolen moment draws them closer, even as their carefully guarded secrets threaten to destroy them. But Nathan doesn’t know that Audrey is the mastermind behind the anonymous revelations. Her investigation was never accidental; every clue was designed to force the guilty to confess. With Detective Marcus Brooks reopening the case, journalist Lucas Cole questioning Audrey’s methods, and Nathan’s powerful aunt, Vivian Wolfe, determined to protect her family’s reputation, Audrey’s carefully constructed plan begins to unravel. When the truth finally emerges, Audrey must choose between justice and the man she never intended to love. Because some secrets destroy lives, and some revelations arrive too late to save a broken heart.
