And his confession only scratches the surface of the truth…

But now someone is using her clients’ secrets—and her own—against her. And even though Carson can’t ignore his attraction to her, he is dead-set on making Annette pay for her crimes…but what if she holds the keyto the burning secret he’s spent his whole life seeking?
