Release Date: January 24, 2020

You don’t realize when your life is about to change forever, how a simple text can tear your world apart.

Esme Danvers doesn't have an easy life but at least she is loved by her widower father... or at least that's who she thought he was for 17 years. Enter William Forbes, top 10 of America's 1% and her actual father - or rather the father of Esmeralda Forbes, the girl she was born to be, the heir to a legacy she'd never known or wanted.

Esme’s thrown into a world of glamour and money, smoke and mirrors, hate, pain and unspoken rancor. A world with a distant, calculating and uncaring father; Archibald, a brother who hates her; and Caleb, his best friend who is as wicked and mean as he is beautiful and charismatic.

Caleb, this broken boy whom she can’t seem to hate enough to keep him out of her bloodstream, a boy who doesn’t seem to hate her enough to stay away.

But as the past reveals itself in ways Esme didn’t expect, she finds herself in the middle of a swirl of lies, betrayals, conspiracy and even murder, with barely anyone to watch her back.

The only thing she really wants is to get back to being Esme Danvers, to find a way out before it’s too late.

I need more - No Spoilers

This was not an empty bully romance there was so much more to this cast

Esme suddenly finds that her life has been a lie. All the love and happiness - her very definition of family is about to change.

In a world where misogynistic beliefs rule Esmeralda finds that she must choose her battles carefully if she ever intends to escape with even a fraction of the woman she once was.

Archibald - the drawing of the man and boy says it all

Caleb - I'm torn when it comes to him. He is a touch on the psychopath side but I have to wonder if it is nature or nurture? Not enough evidence yet to sway me firmly to either side. Is there hope for him? I don't think so but...

Cal - I have hope for him and BB

Cal's dad? All the smiles and jovial personality? Don't buy that act for one minute

Mr. Forbes "father" Satan's spawn dude needs to be strung up

I had a feeling about the little secret that was exposed in the end -

This is a first-person read - not my favorite but the author did a bang-up job of engaging me. I had no problem connecting with the characters.

The story grabs right from the get and doesn't let go.

As always I have questions!!! I know, I know.

But come on so many breadcrumb trails and juicy tidbits were just tossed about how could I be anything else but wanting more?
