Description
EXPANDED AND REVISED. Originally published as "The Secret".
A destitute young man. Wanted dead by a criminal mastermind. Will he prove to be the downfall of the psychopath?
Dylan Roche is shocked. The twenty-five-year-old management trainee is astonished by the visit of an attorney. After years of blissful ignorance of his heritage, he is leery of the invitation to visit his wealthy maternal grandmother.
Wishing his mother was alive to advise him, Dylan sets off to investigate the family’s history, despite his feeling of foreboding. But with the sinister maniac creeping at each turn, he fears his mother’s faith in him was grossly misplaced.
Will Dylan find the secret hidden by his mother and survive the attack by the lunatic?
Advance Praise
The plot weaves in and out of several different time frames and points of view. This might be confusing or result in a muddled mess in the hands of a lesser talent. But Baumgartner pulls it off, page after absorbing page. She keeps readers on the edge of their seats, ready for more.

An entertaining read which manages to get a lot of detail into novella length. Managed to build good characters despite doing so quickly.

Well this was a great book! But it is definitely just a novella tie in to the series so it just leaves you hanging! but it had high suspense, intrigue, action, murder, family drama, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! Although I wish it was much much longer! Ill have to look into the series! It sounds really good! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

A super quick read which still manages to pack in some great twists.
After his mum dies, Dylan discovers that her estranged family are very wealthy and his grandmother wants to see him. He is sceptical, but curious enough to want to know more and soon discovers deceit and lies in abundance!
I’m pleased to see that this is a prequel to the series as there are some great characters here that I look forward to seeing further developed.
4 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC in return for an honest review.
