And so the story continues. As much as I wanted to read those many other books on my TBR I just couldn't get the cliffhanger from Clipped Wings out of my head, so I just had to buy it, an read it, and I loved it!
It continues With Tenley in Arden Hills as she is still being pursued by Trey her brother-in-law-ish as he continues to try and take her portion of her deceased fiance's will and he part of the family estate. Despite the pain she's feeling she knows that she needs to be done with this past to be able to move forward with Hayden. And answering one of his thousands of phone calls will break her and she'd immediately go running back to Chicago. Which is exactly what happens. After three weeks and turning the house over to Connor's cousin destroys all Trey's plans to control her life and her sell the family property. 
Finally answering a call in the middle of the night from Hayden she realizes the state she left him in. 
Barely eating, avoiding his friends, not sleeping, and if he does his head is filled with nightmares about his parents death, and twisted dreams of Tenley dying. This leads him to call her in the middle of the night, not expecting her to answer but atleast wanting to hear her voice on the answering machine. Surprizingly she answers. 
Tenley spends the next few hours organizing the last of what needs to be done and drives home to Hayden.
It's a difficult return. Both Hayden and Tenley are on edge with their unknown relationship status, and Tenley is struggling with how much she's hurt him.
As Tenley needed to come face to face with her past and put it all behind her, so does Hayden. Which is what brings him to reopen his parents case, that and the nightmares that are hinting at something he's not sure is real or not. 
The clues slowly piece together as all the villains in these books are finally revealed as murderers. 
Damen, the drug dealer who started Hayden down the wrong path provided the entrance and a stupid junkie to do the job. The stupid junkie being the dick head cop's (who intentionally sabotaged the case and interrogated Hayden to the point of a mental break) step brother. 
All involved are behind bars, and the case is finally closed. Leaving both Tenley and Hayden free of their pasts and able to move forward with their future, together.
