Eight years ago, he covered up a murder. Now Alexis Parker has to prove he didn’t do it. Except, she’s not convinced he isn’t guilty. Ever since Alex went to work for Lucien Cross, nothing’s been the same. She’s always been wary of him. Now, she finally knows why.

The police discovered a body and enough evidence to put Cross in a cell for the rest of his life. He won’t offer an explanation. He hasn’t even said he’s innocent. The only thing he wants is Alex to work the case and clear his name. But how can she do that when every bit of evidence points to the contrary?
