The perfect lie.  The deception that goes viral.  The truth that should set them free…but instead, it threatens to kill.    

Rachel Lewis has it all. Being a business consultant, she has a long list of successes, but an even longer list of potential relationships that she’s never had.  Until she meets Drake, a man with the perfect match for everything: a drowning business, a rock-solid work ethic, and unheard of talent. But just when she’s about to cross that line between business and pleasure, a life-or-death lie ruins it all…or so she thinks.   

Drake Hatcher left the nest years ago to start a business.  This is what he tells people. Including his own family. But deep in the bowels of his childhood lies a painful memory that’s been locked away for decades. His brothers hate him.  His folks miss him. Town elders know the real story. But when he comes home with a failed business and a broken heart, he meets Rachel, and suddenly things aren’t nearly as dire.   

Until he learns a secret, from Rachel’s best friend Kiley, that throws everything into a tailspin. And it’s all about to blow up in the town’s face…at the hands of a madman who’s been watching from behind the scenes…and knows the perfect time to strike.
