A contemporary Native American amateur sleuth murder mystery series.
On the brink of their wedding, Dela Alvaro and Heath Seaver's plans shatter when a ten-year-old boy appears, claiming to be Heath's son. The truth is even darker: the boy's mother-the woman Heath thought died years ago at Pine Ridge-was an FBI informant hidden under a new identity, left to raise his child alone before dying of addiction.
As Heath wrestles with awe for the son he never knew and fury at the FBI's deception, the past turns deadly. When the agent who lied to him is found murdered in Pendleton, the FBI shows up on Dela's doorstep, bringing danger straight to their home.
With their future on the line, Dela and Heath must confront a web of secrets before it destroys the family they're just beginning to build.
