A warm-hearted, generous businesswoman discovers her dark side when she's betrayed by both the younger man she thought was the love of her life and the best friend she's always trusted--with shattering consequences--in New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe's final standalone novel set in the outrageously scandalous, colorful town of Lexington, Alabama.
The daughter of a hardworking restaurant owner, Louise Brooks always sees the best in people--and in helping them no matter how difficult her own life gets. She's lived through tragic loss and working in the family business, even after enduring a failed marriage and raising a child. So she's delighted when she finds a best friend in Della Thornton, a woman struggling with bad breaks and unlucky romances. Many years later, when Louise's father and her prosperous second husband pass away, Louise takes Della in and gives her a role in the restaurant as it grows more successful than ever ...
Louise is now convinced lasting love is not in the cards for her--until she runs into handsome Malcolm Purdy. He's everything she could want--outgoing, charming, and attentive. Soon they become engaged. And although Louise is dismayed that Della and Malcolm hate each other from the start, she does her best to keep the peace between the two people she cares about and trusts the most ...
But a chance encounter from the past shows Louise that neither Della nor Malcolm is quite who they say they are--and their deceit runs deeper and deadlier than she imagined. With her illusions in ruins, how far will she go to see justice served? And will her final shocking move cost her more than she's willing to lose?
