Synopsis
What do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be the one you knew the
least?
Twenty-three year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has everything going for
her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and a chance to explore the world. What made it even
better – or so she thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden. Unable to
stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no other, and falls into his world of passion
and intrigue. However, things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.
Her trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her, revealing secrets that have
been buried for years. Secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will
Marissa figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will she be too late and fall into
the trap of deception?

Excerpt
Kristian was leaning against the wall with his muscular arms crossed at his chest. His
smoky gray eyes watched me intently as I made my way to him, and it made me nervous. I’d
never seen him look at me like that, with such longing and need.
When I approached, he loosened his arms and pulled me straight into them, enveloping
me in his scent of bodywash and cologne; he smelled completely different from Alec, like they
had their own enticing scent. He was wearing the cologne I had given him for his birthday the
year before, and it made me smile as I laid my head on his chest.
“Please don’t go, Marissa. I can take you somewhere and keep you safe. Why does it
have to be him? If anything, it’s more dangerous since whoever is after you is only doing it
because of him.”
In all honesty, he had a point, but I didn’t want to imagine not going with Alec. I held
onto Kristian tighter and breathed him in. I was going to miss him so much.
“I have to go, Kristian,” I whispered. “And I have to go with Alec. I don’t want you or
any of our friends being targets just because of me. If anything happened to any of you I would
never forgive myself.”
Kristian let me go and placed both of his hands on my cheeks, lifting my face up. “I’m
not going to know what to do without you, Mare. You’ve been such a huge part of my life for so
long. Just please promise me that you’ll call me or text if you need anything.”
Smiling, I leaned into his hand and placed mine over the top of his. “Always,” I
whispered wholeheartedly. A lone tear escaped out of the corner of my eye and Kristian wiped it
away with his thumb.
A pained look crossed his face and my heart shattered for him. “Be safe, Marissa.”
“I will,” I said, slowly backing away from him. “But I have to go.”
As soon as I turned to leave, Kristian grabbed my arm and pulled me to him, crushing his
lips against mine. They were firm yet soft, and the desire that flowed through them to me shot
through my body like electricity. Kristian had never kissed me like that before, or ever for that
matter. The kiss only lasted briefly because Alec came up behind me and tore me away from
him, and stepped in front of me.
In a low, menacing voice Alec said, “If I ever see you touch her like that again I’m gonna
rip off your arms and shove them up your ass. Be thankful I can’t do anything about it now, but
when we come back you better watch out.”
Kristian met Alec head on. “I’d like to see you try,” he sneered.
