A fast-paced romantic suspense about betrayal, justice, and the redemptive power of love amid dark Hollywood secrets.
When photographer Riley Temple develops a roll of film and uncovers an image of a murdered woman, she becomes the target of a deadly Hollywood conspiracy. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that someone powerful wants her silenced.
Her only ally is LAPD Detective Quinn Burton, a man whose loyalty to his family and the force is as unshakable as his attraction to Riley. Their partnership sparks an undeniable chemistry, but their investigation threatens to expose his father---the city's police commissioner---as part of a secret society thriller that rules Los Angeles's elite.
As Riley and Quinn race to uncover the truth, danger closes in. Caught between duty and desire, they'll have to trust each other to survive. But in this world of love, lies, and corruption, trust could be the most dangerous choice of all.
A Hollywood conspiracy. A forbidden attraction. A truth worth dying for.
