She was a vision. She was a siren. She was a nightmare. She
was dead. Now he needed her to disappear. And he knew just
how to make it happen. The Palm Beach elite go to great
lengths to protect their own-and their own no longer
includes Elena Estes. Once upon a time a child of wealth
and privilege, Elena turned her back on that life. Betrayed
and disillusioned by those closest to her, she chose the
life of an undercover cop, the hunt for justice her own
personal passion. Then a tragic, haunting mistake ended her
career. Now Elena exists on the fringes of her old life,
training horses for a living. But a shocking event is about
to draw her back into the painful vortex she's fought so
hard to leave behind.
First she finds the body-a young woman used, murdered, and
dumped in a canal. Not just a victim, but a friend. As
Elena delves into her dead friend's secret life, she
discovers ties not only to the Russian mob but also to a
group of powerful and wealthy Palm Beach bad boys known for
giving each other alibis to cover a multitude of sins. A
group that includes a man Elena once knew very well-her
former fiancé, Bennett Walker, a man she knows has already
escaped justice at least once in his life.
Finding her friend's killer will put Elena at odds with her
old life, with her new lover, and with herself. But she is
determined to reveal the truth-a truth that will shock Palm
Beach society to its core, and could very well get her
killed.
