A stalker from her past. A man with secrets of his own. A bond too powerful to be broken—unless the danger gets to them first. Paloma Finch never expected her past to claw its way back into the present. Between cryptic threats and the haunting question of whether Jacob Campbell survived, she's no longer sure what's real—and what's a carefully orchestrated trap. Her connection with Colby Falcon deepens, but so do the risks. What began as chemistry has become something far more consuming. As they follow the clues across the West Coast—from Seattle to San Francisco—Paloma and Colby realize their shared history runs deeper than they ever guessed. He's the man she never saw coming. But is he the one she can trust when everything around them begins to unravel? As stalkers close in and old enemies return, Colby and Paloma must confront not only the forces threatening them from the outside—but the fears and scars they've hidden within. The Finch and the Falcon: Released continues this taut and addictive trilogy with jaw-dropping twists, sizzling romance, and emotional stakes that leave no one untouched.
