Riley Carter knows how to tell a story.
As a struggling crime reporter desperate for a breakthrough, Riley has spent years chasing headlines while her career slowly falls apart around her. But when a brutal murder shocks the city and Riley is the first journalist on the scene, everything change. Her reporting is sharp, fearless, and suddenly impossible to ignore.
Detective Mason Hale is assigned to the investigation immediately -- and working with Riley is the last thing he wants.
They were enemies in high school, bound together by a past neither of them has fully forgotten. Mason remembers Riley as cold, guarded, and impossible to understand. Riley remembers Mason as the boy who always believed the wrong people.
But as more bodies appear and the case spirals into something darker, Mason and Riley find themselves pulled unwillingly closer together. Anonymous messages, buried secrets, and a decades-old cover-up begin connecting the murders to their hometown -- and to a name both of them thought was long buried.
The deeper Mason digs, the more impossible it becomes to separate Riley from the investigation itself.
Because Riley knows things she shouldn't.
And the closer Mason gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes to love her.
Nothing Stays Buried is a dark psychological thriller filled with obsession, betrayal, morally gray characters, and a romance doomed from the very beginning.
