As a nurse, I've seen it all. But the way he calmed down the second he saw me sparked something deep in me. I was working my normal, hectic, chaotic night shift in the ER. He was the quiet kid in high school. The one who kept his head down, got good grades, and never caused trouble. I hadn't seen him since graduation… until he was wheeled into the hospital that night, bleeding from a gunshot wound. After I patched him up, it turned out to be just a flesh wound. I thought goodbye would be the end of it. Instead, it became one coffee, then one date, then one kiss… and suddenly, we were us. He was sweet, smart, and made me laugh like no one else. For the first time in forever, things felt steady, safe, right. But then life pulled us closer together as both our worlds began to fall apart. Our identities, finances, and everything we had worked so hard for started disappearing one by one before our eyes. Side by side, we began piecing it together like two detectives chasing a shadow. He kissed me through my panic, held me through the fear, and swore we'd find the scammer haunting us both. As we worked to rebuild what was taken away, we didn't realize the threat was still looming. He made me feel like, together, we were unstoppable. Together, we were untouchable. But did we put our trust in the wrong person? Was betrayal hiding in plain sight? Ricochet is a sexy, suspenseful, pulse-racing diary of passion and betrayal in the digital age, where love is the distraction and the lie is the bullet you never saw coming.
