Shelby Cole thinks she put Texas behind her. She left ten years ago, her world shattered and her illegitimate baby dead. Now she’s getting anonymous letters saying that her daughter is alive.
Shelby’s not the only one coming home. Falsely accused of murder and sent to prison for ten years, an enemy from her past intends to settle old scores.
Shelby’s search for the truth is met with stonewalling and hostility, especially from her powerful father. She can’t shake the suspicion that someone has lured her back for their own reasons. Her only ally is a figure from her past – someone she has every reason not to trust. And in the midst of dark family revelations she uncovers a terrifying scheme of revenge.
