Evelyn Eden can't resist the allure of Vic Damask's flashy world—the parties, the excitement, the escape from her father's modest candy store—and she's willing to overlook his shady reputation to be part of it. But when she takes a job working for him, she discovers too late that his "business" is far darker than she imagined, and her innocent involvement in one of his schemes lands her in the sights of the law. Now Evelyn must hide the truth from Clark, her lawyer and the man she loves, while trapped between a criminal past and a future she desperately wants to claim.

As her double life spirals, the truth threatens to unravel everything she's built.
