SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN
Rane Smith has a secret. A big one she can’t ever reveal without compromising her father.
Jon Garretson also has a secret. The undercover cop moves into an apartment above prime suspect Rane Smith’s home. He’s on the trail of justice, but he’s also helping his brother get payback.
Jon discovers Rane is not who she seems to be, and that the drug lord Jon’s working to take down also has Rane in his sights.
Complicated past relationships keep Rane from revealing any truths, even when she’s beginning to trust Jon. Then she learns he’s been deceiving her – that he’s really an undercover cop – and that trust is shattered.
Fighting a desperate battle on three fronts, Jon must protect Rane, win back her trust, and build a case against the powerful drug lord.
Jon’s fallen for the stubborn beauty. He’ll put his life on the line to keep her safe, and hopes his heart is the only casualty.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. This first half of the book for me was hard to get into but once I did it went a lot smoother. I just had a hard time connecting with the characters. I thought that this was going to be a DNF but I’m glad that I pushed through.
This book follows Jon and Rane and they have an interesting story because Jon is a detective who goes under cover in hopes of arresting a drug lord. When he finds out there’s a connection to the suspects brother’s ex-girlfriend who wants nothing to do with him.
This book was filled with a mini rollercoaster of emotions. I highly recommend this book.
