Betrayal doesn’t disappear. It festers and spreads like a disease. The scales demand consequence and don’t balance themselves. Someone has to tip them back. That person is me. I have everything a man can want. Power. Prestige. A name that opens doors. I’m the attorney most can’t afford, and fewer can outmaneuver. I have a devoted family and a beautiful woman on my arm. But my thirtieth birthday takes a turn when a relic from my past resurfaces. Something that should have stayed buried with my father. And I realize I’m no longer the only one keeping score. Someone has studied me and knows the truth. Someone who isn’t afraid and sees exactly what I am beneath the tailored suit. Emily Walker threatens to tip the scales. She craves the man behind the mask. But what happens when the only variable I didn’t account for is her? Will I pull her closer? Or will I reduce her to ash and let the wind erase her name?
