The #1 New York Times-bestselling author "mixes love and vengeance in this fast-paced . . . romantic thriller" (Publishers Weekly).
In Fern Michaels' dazzling novel, a woman devastated by betrayal embarks on a daring quest for justice.
She Lost Everything . . .
Kate and Alex Rocket are blessed with a wonderful marriage and a lovely home. Although Kate can't have children, she and Alex look upon Sara and Emily, daughters of their good friends Don and Debbie Winter, as part of their family.
Except Hope . . .
With one phone call, everything changes. Sara accuses Alex of a terrible act, opening up a vicious rift between the couples. Kate watches helplessly as her innocent husband is convicted and sent to prison. But when even greater tragedy strikes, Kate's grief turns to anger, and she discovers an inner strength and steel-edged resolve to clear her husband's name—and ruin those who destroyed their life together. But Kate's greatest challenge will be in avenging Alex without losing her chance at a new future—and a precious new love . . .

"This was story that captured and held my attention through the whole book, despite how much i hated half the characters. It was a simple plotline, but well written. I read this book nonstop in one afternoon and was enjoyable. I look forward to reading more from this author."
— Natajia (4 out of 5 stars)
" I expected another feel good romance...what I got was a twisted, bitter tale. Bleh. "
— Kerstin, 2/17/2014" Very good book. A horrible lie ruins the lives of two families. Fast, easy to read. This author really knows how to tell a story. "
— Cheryl, 1/30/2014" Still reading, but enjoying very much! "
— Holly, 1/22/2014" 20% story, the rest filler. Like trying to fill a big box with a little gift and packing a lot of paper so it won't rattle. "
— Martha, 1/21/2014" Meh...I enjoyed most of her Sisterhood series but this one just didn't measure up. There were a few unexpected twists but the rest was predictable. "
— Arline, 1/20/2014" Just started and already see the writing on the wall. Hate the kid! "
— Karen, 1/15/2014" Loved it!!!!!!! Read this you will not be disappointed. "
— Tina, 1/12/2014" The story was interesting but I had an online version, and it wasn't believable of the lady doing the man's voice, and I didn't finish it because of the swearing. "
— Catherine, 1/12/2014" Loved this book. Great story that kept me interested until the last page. Hard to put down. "
— Lisa, 1/11/2014" Another good book by Fern Michaels. What a few words can do to a family.... "
— Debbie, 1/10/2014" Listened to this book while on a roadtrip. Really enjoyed it, Kate was a little bit of a whiner and in the beginning seemed to be a little wimpy, but in the end really rooting for her. Ending makes you smile!! "
— Tish, 1/2/2014" It was ok but not her best effort. "
— Cindy, 12/10/2013" another great book from Fern Michaels "
— Connie, 11/7/2013" I like Fern Michaels- but this book seemed to choppy "
— Sandi, 9/16/2013" This book gets under your skin in many ways and evokes strong emotions. Justice be done. "
— Julie, 9/8/2013" I couldn't put it down. I love Fern Michaels books anyway but this one was definitely a page turner. Plus she mentions herself (not by name) and two of the series of books by her that I really loved. Texas and Vegas. :D "
— Karen, 6/14/2013" Had I known this was a book about a man accused of sexual abuse, I never would have read it. 30 years in child welfare was enough. "
— Glassart, 8/24/2012" I really liked the beginning of this book, including the trial. I felt that I could connect to the characters and they were likable...at least the ones that you were supposed to like. After the trial, however, I felt that the book became rushed, and the feelings weren't quite there. "
— Kassandra, 6/24/2012" Good story about revenge and what revenge does to the person planning it "
— Truitti, 10/21/2011" Meh...I enjoyed most of her Sisterhood series but this one just didn't measure up. There were a few unexpected twists but the rest was predictable. "
— Arline, 6/18/2011" I couldn't put it down. I love Fern Michaels books anyway but this one was definitely a page turner. Plus she mentions herself (not by name) and two of the series of books by her that I really loved. Texas and Vegas. :D<br/> "
— Karen, 6/11/2011" It was okay, but I think someone has really ticked this woman off at some point in her life. She really focuses on revenge in a lot of her books! "
— Tari, 6/9/2011" Still reading, but enjoying very much! "
— Holly, 5/12/2011" I enjoyed this book. My heart broke for Kate & Alex and I wanted to wring the little girl's neck. <br/> <br/> "
