Synopsis

"Camille Dargus has fought her way up from humble beginnings to a glittering Manhattan lifestyle.

She has beauty, brains, wealth, and a successful career as a jewelry designer for the leading lights of New York society.

She also has a penchant for attractive young men.

One night at a society gala she meets Billy, a handsome young waiter, and brings him back to her Soho apartment.

But there's more to Billy than meets the eye, and Camille finds herself held hostage at gunpoint by a man who seems frighteningly familiar with the past Camille has struggled to forget.

Over the course of one explosive night, Camille must use all her wits and cunning to save her life--and to prevent the dark secrets of her past from destroying everything she's worked for."

"A challenging puzzle that draws us closer and happily keeps us on the edge of our seats. A madcap journey of intrigue and duplicity and… occasional wry hilarity."

— The Oregonian

"A nerve-shredding, intricately plotted thriller, full of twists, turns and double crosses… [a] refreshingly modern thriller."

— Worthing Herald

"Masterly… thrilling!"
