The truth can make a career. Or blow up a life.

Alex King built her reputation on getting the story right. As a rising TV reporter in Los Angeles, facts are her currency--and there's no room for personal missteps. Especially not the kind she's been keeping carefully out of sight.

When a high-profile disappearance sends her to Palm Springs, Alex knows it could be her big break. But the deeper she digs into the case of Samantha Gaines, the messier things get. Especially once Jane Lowell enters the picture--mysterious, self-assured, and far too good at reading Alex.

Jane might be the key to solving the story...or the one person who could unravel Alex entirely.

As the investigation heats up, so does their connection--and soon Alex is facing a different kind of truth. One that could cost her everything she's worked for. Or finally set her free.
