About the Book

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When we try to be like me.”— Sloan Phoenix Her plot is deadly. Her scheme is sinister. Her plan for Sloan Phoenix? Give him everything he wants! Two years ago, Judy Palmer was manipulated into murdering her unfaithful husband, Charlie, by the devilishly clever Sloan Phoenix. Now, after destroying the Prescott family, Sloan is the CEO of Prescott Industries. So just when everything looks like it’s going smoothly, Judy returns, hell-bent on destroying him. Partnered with the young Dan Pierce Jr., son of a deceased technology mogul and a former friend of the Prescotts, Judy uses a dark secret from Sloan’s past, putting his budding relationship with the young and beautiful widow Alexis Pierce in the crossfire. To stop Judy, Sloan, along with his best friend, Garry Lennox, seek out the past of Charlie Palmer, setting them on the path of a deadly secret that involves Judy’s new husband, Dr. Chris Faulkner, and her tormented sister, Tara. And as Judy weaves her tangled web of deception, duplicity, and death, Sloan must untangle himself long enough to beat her at the game he taught her to play. A game with three rules: Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. And take your secrets to the grave!
