About This Book
A chance meeting at a dive bar—him in a tailored suit, her quietly tailing her own father—shouldn't have led anywhere. But it did, briefly and intensely, before he disappeared without a trace. When fate pulls them back together under circumstances far more dangerous than either could have anticipated, the connection they can't quite shake becomes the most complicated problem in the room. Eden Summers builds her story around the collision of two worlds: one woman trying to understand her family's secrets, and one man already buried in them. The stakes are personal, criminal, and deeply romantic all at once.
What makes Remy work as a reading experience is Summers' dual-perspective structure, which parcels out information with precision—giving each character just enough interiority to keep readers slightly ahead of the other half of the pair, which creates genuine tension rather than artificial mystery. Her prose is sharp and propulsive, trading in wit and heat without losing sight of consequence. The result is a story that moves fast but lingers, balancing the pull of attraction against the weight of dangerous loyalties in ways that feel earned rather than convenient.
