Open Secret

Kiara and Ethon Branan have the perfect marriage - built on everything a great relationship should be - passion, trust great communication... except one little detail.
Tiny? Maybe. Major? For Sure.

Ethon's family doesn't know she exists, despite them being married for years. His reason? To protect her, without any context on why she would need protection from his family.
When he finally gives into her demands for answers, he brings her into a world of cruel and blatant racism that shatters something in her.

Fast forward a few years and Ethon trades his law books to become a police captain, managing a precinct from which racist officers are murdering black men in cold blood... and getting away with it. Ethon seems to be enabling the killings and defending the actions of the officers. Protests erupt across the city, and the tender, loving man that Kiara married, hardens into someone she barely recognizes.

When Kiara's friend is killed by one of the racist officers, Kiara joins the protests, igniting a fierce battle that moves from the streets to their bedroom. They come face to face with a hard line in their marriage - his need to protect her versus her desire to stand with what is right. Divorce is quickly becoming their available option.

Then Ethon is attacked and ends up in a coma. The evidence points straight to Kiara, exposing her to the officers who didn't even know he was married, in an effort to protect her.
With a stranger's lie framing her for attempted murder, her only hope is the man she's no longer sure she wants to be with.

He holds the truth in his silence. If he doesn't wake up remembering what happened, she'll lose everything.
A gripping, emotionally charged romance where love collides with justice, and the deepest secrets demand the heaviest price.
