No secret is impermeable... The truth always finds a way to expose itself. They say, "good fences make good neighbors," but the truth is: no fence, wall, or gate can hold any secret in. So often we feel a false sense of comfort and protection from the gates that surround our hearts, minds, and homes. We fail to realize that closing in our secrets for our own safety means there is no escaping when those walls finally begin to close in around us. This can cause panic, chaos, and completely upheave life as one knows it. In a neighborhood where all of the neighbors are involved in illegal operations together, one small hint of the truth could level the entire housing addition, and reveal more than anyone is ready to take responsibility for. After being assigned to a sting operation with her boss and partner, Detective Sarah Remmington finds herself again ready to break up her largest drug ring to date. Falling perfectly into her role as a wife and new friend, she worms her way in to the lives of those she's trying to out and convict. In the midst of piecing together the case, she finds herself dealing with feelings that haven't shown themselves for years, about memories of those she wished she could have saved herself years before, and the way love was truly supposed to feel. Behind the gates of Lost Bridge Village, VICE Detective Sebastian O'Doyle is strictly focused on his next big bust. The isolating demands of the job have held him back from life's simplest pleasures, although his true love in life to this point had been saving the world. But she is unavoidable. Sarah's mystery, intense work ethic, and knowledge set her apart from every other partner he's had, and he finds himself drawn to her and their cover marriage more than he should be. In all his years on the force, no one had ever had his back the way she did, and that spoke to him. He was determined to not only solve the case, but win her heart regardless of the cost. As the case changes in front of their eyes, the human trafficking ring is opened and exposed, revealing their own personal wounds from life's bumpy path. Their oath to protect and serve has never meant more than it does now for everyone involved, and Sebastian and Sarah prove that balanced teamwork can always win in the end. Revealing the secrets that Lost Bridge Village holds not only saves lives, but restores the faith that two lost Detectives need to feel whole again.
