About this ebook

A disgraced socialite recruits the help of a childhood friend turned lawyer with his own mysterious agenda to unravel the conspiracy that destroyed her life in this sizzling romantic suspense novel.

Three years ago, Emika Woods had it all, a life perfectly curated for the spotlight she has always savored. Everything she wanted was within reach—until a public betrayal shattered her world and landed her behind bars. Now that she’s finally being released, Emika is back with no plans of forgiving or forgetting. The only thing on her mind is revenge.

The perfect man to help: Giv Sirazi, the Iranian American lawyer who rebuilt his own body and learned to make every repair invisible. He’s known as much for his loyalty as for his ability to fix any mess without leaving a trace. But the one problem he can’t fix is his dead marriage…to Emika’s best friend. The very same friend who landed her in prison. It doesn't help that the feelings towards Emika he thought were long buried have started simmering while she’s been away. So, when she turns to him for help in clearing her name, he decides his loyalty is to her.

Despite their clashing approaches, Emika and Giv work together to unravel the conspiracy and decades-long betrayal that ruined her life. But being so close resurfaces the emotional minefield of their past. What starts as survival becomes seduction, and Emika must decide if reclaiming her future means sacrificing the man who’s finally seeing her for who she is.
