Jennifer Tiggens had everything: a beautiful home, a successful husband, a life carefully constructed in Charleston's most exclusive circles. Then Marcus came home dead, and everything shattered. Accused of murder, her identity stolen, her life unraveling at impossible speed, Jennifer finds herself cornered with nowhere to turn. Everyone she trusted has become a suspect. Everyone she loved has become a threat. Enter Derek Campbell, a scarred former detective with his own demons and an ironclad rule: never get personally involved with a client. But as Jennifer's case deepens and the truth emerges, Derek discovers that nothing is what it seems. The woman Jennifer thought was her closest friend is something far more sinister.

And the only person who can save Jennifer is the one person he's sworn to keep at arm's length. In a twisted game of institutional manipulation and calculated betrayal, Jennifer must fight to reclaim her identity, her freedom, and her life-while Derek battles his own boundaries to protect her. But as danger closes in, they'll discover that some truths are worth the cost of breaking every rule. A psychological thriller about identity, obsession, and the dangerous power of trust.
