Publisher Description
From #1 New York Times bestselling author and “masterful storyteller” (USA TODAY) Sandra Brown—a sexy, sultry, family-based thriller set in a small southern town.
When her younger brother, Danny, commits suicide, Sayre Lynch breaks her vow never to return to her Louisiana hometown, and gets drawn back into her tyrannical father’s web. He and her older brother—who control the town’s sole industry, an iron foundry—are as corrupt as ever. Worse, they have hired a shrewd and disarming new lawyer, Beck Merchant…a man with his own agenda. When the police determine that Danny’s suicide was actually a homicide, Sayre must battle her family—and her passionate feelings for Beck—as she confronts a powder keg of old hatreds, past crimes, and a surprising plan of revenge.

"This was a different book with a different feel to it. Nevertheless, I was hooked from the beginning. The characters were compelling and the story was really well-thought out. It's about family, lies, betrayal and murder. A book that I couldn't put down."

" Oh why did I read this book and waste good reading time? "
— Marie, 2/18/2014 -
" This is pretty much a soap opera in book format complete with a touch of romance and a dysfunctional but powerful family. Instead of 'Who shot J.R?' we have 'Who shot Danny?' "

" liked the book very much. "
— Karleen, 2/6/2014 -
" I generally love Sandra Brown's books, but this one wasn't my favourite. For me the characters were all rather unlikable, and the tension unending throughout. I'm not attracted by sexual attraction so overpowering that people who claim to hate each other are nevertheless involved . "
— Elizabeth, 2/4/2014 -
" Beach book I never got to...quick read, but good story line. Predictable, but entertaining. "

" Sandra Brown has delivered another intense and suspenseful story that kept me on the edge of my seat until the end of the book. If you like a rollercoaster ride of intrigue and surprising twists in your reading, I highly recommend this story. "
— Sharal, 10/31/2013 -
" Somewhat predictable true to Brown formula. Guy with hidden agenda, falls for gal with attitude & seemingly conflicting agenda. At least it's not poor girl, rich guy, etc. "
— WK, 6/26/2013 -
" Sayre went home to Destiny after her brother died. Was it suicide or murder. Her father was a devious person so should she believe him? "
— Joanie, 4/16/2013 -
" Great book, I loved it and discovered a new author!!! "
— Gina, 12/18/2012 -
" This is one I am going to have to stick in my didn't finished shelf. I couldn't finish listening to it. Not because of the narrator but because of the book itself. Sorry Ms. Brown this one was a miss for me. :D!!! "
— Debi, 11/6/2012 -
" Written well. These types of books are good when you just want pure entertainment. Definitely a quick read, but good. "
— Michelle, 8/26/2012 -
" Interesting book. Good ending, but abrupt. All unfolds in the last chapter and epilogue. "
— Katie, 6/7/2012 -
" My first Sandra Brown and I really really liked it! "
