Life can change on a dime...
Two years ago, Sally Harrington abandoned the fast pace and adrenaline rush of working for a Los Angeles magazine to return home to Castleford, Connecticut. Now she works for the local paper, chasing leads from Crazy Pete Sabatio, the town's conspiracy theorist, and is on again, off again with her boyfriend from high school.
Then a chance encounter in the woods changes everything...
When Sally rescues a man who believes he's having a heart attack, she stumbles into the world of Corbett Schroeder, corporate raider, and his wife, Verity Rhodes, editor of a high-end tabloid magazine, Expectations. It's a world Sally knows well from her years in L.A.-the intoxicating life of wealth and privilege. And when Verity offers Sally a job writing a piece for Expectations, it's Sally's chance to play in that world again, if only temporarily.
Her assignment is to write an expose on Cassy Cochran, president of the powerful DBS TV network in New York. While running back and forth between New York and Castleford, Sally finds whe's juggling two lifestyles, two jobs, even two men. But her worlds collide when she's drawn into a local murder investigation-a murder that, according to Crazy Pete, is directly linked to Sally's father, who died in an accident when she was a child.
For someone who's always taken risks, Sally finds that her life is completely out of control. Her plum assignment isn't what it seems, one of the men in her life just might have a hidden agenda and her father's accidental death might have in fact been murder.
