About this ebook
“A smart sexy thriller” from an international bestselling author: “[A] dark, twisty tale of lurid secrets, lavish lifestyles, and devastating loss” (Lisa Gardner, New York Times–bestselling author of Before She Disappeared).
A woman who almost had it all. . . .
Celine Gonzalez had everything a young woman in Manhattan could want: an apartment on the Lower East Side, a job that (mostly) paid the bills, and an acceptance letter to a prestigious art institute, where she would finally live out her dream of becoming an antiques appraiser. All she had worked so hard to achieve was finally within her reach. So why would she kill herself?
A man who was supposed to be her salvation. . . .
Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after her shocking death. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a lethal cocktail of pills and vodka, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers a scandalous photograph hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man Celine believed would change her life.
Until he became her ruin. . . .
Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer. A killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.
“A nail biting thriller.” —Publishers Weekly
“A seductive, suspenseful story that will keep you guessing.” —USA Today
“Tucker is a pro at delivering hot romance, but here she combines it with heart pounding suspense. The results are terrifyingly good.” —Toronto Star

I've read all of K A Tuckers books and I've loved every single one! This one was very different that her usual, I was entranced from the beginning, every page and every chapter kept me on my toes! I loved that it had such an unpredictable ending. Very different that the usual hero and heroine love story! Two thumbs up!
