Publisher's summary

The end to his story has already been written…

Brad Steel made a promise to his wife and children - to create a legacy born from his love for them and his desire to protect them from harm. It was a worthy ambition…

But along the way, something went terribly wrong.

Daphne Steel loves her husband beyond measure and will stand by him no matter what, even when it's more than she can deal with. She escapes when she must, still always putting Brad and their children first.

Mysteries deepen, secrets are unveiled, and Brad vows to continue to protect his family at all costs. But is the price too high? The lies and misdeeds get easier and easier, until he descends to a place he swore he'd never go.

There's no turning back, though, and his actions have consequences - for those he did everything to protect.

To sad ...

These books were all great but the true ending broke my heart. Sorry to be a spolier but my heart broke. I wish I didn't listen to the last 3.

Always so good!!!!

I always start these books and think to myself there is no way she can keep this story going and make it as good as the previous ones. She always proves me wrong. I love this series, and at the end of this book I feel like there were so many questions that had finally been answered! Well done!

One of the most gut wrenching books I’ve evere read I can’t stop crying got Brady and

Brand and Daphne stores were the saddest ending in my history of reading. I’m glad I finished it but still was a gut slam

Wow!

Loved the ending! Listened to it a few times! I will admit it was a little rough listening to how much Brad would keep from Daphne and stayed away so much when we, as a readers, knew what she was going through .

OMG so depressing!

Well I knew that this book would be hard to finish and would leave me broken and that is what it did. If you have read the whole Steele Brothers saga then you know this book won’t end well. I knew too but had to hear it anyway. Just a warning this is not one of those books that will break your heart and put it back together. It just breaks your heart and then it’s over. Helen Hardt is a brilliant writer and Teddy Hamilton and Laurie West did a phenomenal job with the narration but this one will leave me with a book hangover for sure. Maybe I should have skipped this trilogy, my heart wasn’t ready for this.

Loved this book!!!!!

This was amazing to hear Brad's side of the story and how it wrapped up all the other books. Definitely made me cry.
