Before, Lara Pierce felt trapped in her relationship. Now, she's being flat-out blackmailed to stay. With Jackson holding evidence of a murder she didn't commit, Lara finds herself essentially held hostage as his fiancée. Despite the outward glamour of her Manhattan life, she is living and breathing a daily nightmare. Good thing she has a hunch—and a plan to put Jackson in jail where he belongs. Unfortunately, it'll require her to pretend that everything is fine. Absolutely fine. In order to free herself from Jackson's grip, both Lara and Jake must get closer than ever to the man that likely killed Gabrielle Winter. And while that should be easy as his fiancée and brother, it proves impossible when factoring in a secret affair that grows deeper, hotter and riskier with every uncovered secret.
