The truth can set you free. And get you killed.
In the Air Tonight, an all-new thrilling small town, romantic suspense standalone from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Marie Force & Blue Box Press is now live!
I was there. I saw what you did.
Blaise
I wasn’t supposed to be there that night, but my friend Sienna talked me into going to the party in Land’s End so she could spy on her boyfriend. While hiding out in the woods, we witnessed an unspeakable crime. And we did everything wrong afterward.
Connections run deep in our small town.
I was pressured into keeping my mouth shut, even though every part of me objected. I assumed I’d always do the right thing in any situation. I was wrong about that and a lot of other things.
I was wrecked by what I saw and how the victim was treated by kids I’d known all my life. I’ve been sick over it ever since, even as I moved on, far away from the town where I was raised.
Fourteen years later, I learn that the guy who committed that unspeakable crime is running for Congress, and something in me snaps.
I can’t bear the weight of that knowledge for another second.
Finally, I report what I saw, and all hell breaks loose for me and others who were at that long-ago party. Some of them will do whatever it takes to keep the truth from coming to light…even if they have to kill me.
In the midst of an epic battle, a new love gives me the strength to stay strong, to fight for my life and to right a terrible wrong.

I shower and change into jeans and a sweater before heading out to return to my childhood home for the first time since my dad died of a heart attack seven years ago. That’s the only time I’ve been home since I left for college, a stance that’s caused significant friction in my family. They’ve asked for years why I stayed away until they quit asking and stopped reaching out. I still talk to all of them, but we’re not close. That’s how I wanted it, for reasons only I know, but now… If everything comes out, will it drive us further apart or bring us closer together?
I don’t know how that’ll go, and the not knowing only adds to my anxiety as I drive across the bridge into Hope.
Every nerve in my body is on full alert as I take the familiar roads to home, traversing the same route I did on that long-ago night after witnessing the crime that changed everything.
I park behind my mother’s silver Toyota Camry and take a long moment to look at the two-story Colonial home where I was raised. It’s been painted a darker shade of grey, and the shutters are now black. They were red when I lived there.
Mom comes out of the house, smiling with excitement that’s been sorely lacking in her since Dad died. She’s visited me often in the city, but I know she’s yearned for me to come home.
I hug her on the sidewalk.
“It’s so good to have you here, my sweet girl.”
“It’s good to be home.”

🧡Review🧡
When she was a teenager Blaise witnessed an assault that forever changed her. The person responsible came from a powerful family so she was convinced that keeping silent was her only way to protect those she cared about despite the consequences for the victim. Years later when she realizes that the person responsible is running for public office, she decides that her conscience will no longer allow her to remain quiet.
Now Blaise finds herself in danger as she tries to do what she should have done along however people don’t want that to happen and will wield their influence to try to ensure her quest isn’t successful.
This story will keep you on edge as you feel how this affected everyone, the intrigue is enthralling, and the romance is enchanting as she opens her heart to the possibility of love.
