Another portion leads toward a criminal financial network-and secrets buried inside Dominic's own past.Dominic knows more than he tells her.He also wants her.The attraction between them is immediate, consuming, and increasingly impossible to separate from the question Elena cannot afford to ignore: Can she trust a man whose instinct is to protect people by controlling what they are allowed to know?As the investigation pulls Elena's family, foundation, and future apart, desire becomes the easiest truth between them.Everything else will cost more.The Weight of Knowing is a steamy contemporary romantic suspense novel about desire, family loyalty, accountability, betrayal, and the difference between loving someone and being safe enough to build a life with them.
