Alejandro clawed his way out of a brutal childhood, convinced the only path to safety was power. Ruthless deals. Cold control. No room for softness. It kept him alive—and made him untouchable.
But being a father demands something else entirely.
Natalie is sharp, guarded, and burning with questions. She doesn’t want his protection—she wants the truth. And with law enforcement closing in and old enemies resurfacing, Alejandro is running out of time. He must show her what he never learned himself: empathy, loyalty, and human connection.
To give her a life he never had, he may have to sacrifice the only one he’s ever known.
Because some debts can’t be erased. And redemption always comes at a cost.
A tense, emotionally charged psychological thriller about legacy, sacrifice, and the brutal path to becoming the kind of man your child could forgive. Book seven in the emotionally gripping When Bad Things Happen series.

Dr. Sharon A. Mitchell lives on a farm, with her nearest neighbor several miles away. Doesn't that seem like the ideal setting to spark the imagination? She takes long walks with her hundred-pound German Shepherd dogs, Pickles and Dill. (She didn't name them - don't blame her). The Farmers of Goodrich County is a series of clean and wholesome romances set in a western small town, farming region. She's working on her eighth psychological thriller novel for the When Bad Things Happen series. Besides two, three short stories tied to that series, and bonus material at the end of many of the books, she's written six novels, each featuring an autistic child or young adult. Two nonfiction books accompany that autism series. Sharon's been a teacher, counselor, psychologist and consultant for decades and continues to teach university classes to soon-to-be teachers and administrators.
