Exposing those closest to you could be fatal. . .
Despite her desire for control, Ara Hopkins has always felt like a pawn-constantly being maneuvered by those surrounding her. Carrying a riddled past of abandonment by her mother, a jealous step-sister and exploitation by men she was supposed to be able to trust, Ara craves a social-media-certified life. So, when she meets her husband, a New York congressman's son, she believes she's finally won her game. Secure in a life her mother would approve of-and having firmly shut the door on her chaotic and miscalculated past-Ara feels she's thriving. Until the night her husband is murdered. Thrust into a game of deceit and lies, Ara realizes that nothing is as it seems and that the past can quickly return to the present. The facade crumbles as relationships are tested and family boundaries crossed. Faced with losing it all, she discovers what a person is really capable of. Because in this game of life, it's either rook or be rooked.
An intricately braided plot with unforeseeable twists and a sucker-punch ending, Rooked is a captivating thriller that shatters all perceptions.
