Years after surviving a devastating attack, a young Southern woman returns to her hometown to exact revenge on the wealthy family who tried to destroy her.

On a rainy Southern night, Jade Sperry endured a young woman’s worst nightmare at the hands of three local hell-raisers. Robbed of her youthful ideals and at the center of scandal and tragedy,

No one, not even her own mother, believes Jade’s tale. She vows to destroy all three boys, especially Neal. She has become pregnant from the attack, but she wins a full scholarship to college and takes her baby son with her.

Years later, Jade has never forgotten the sleepy “company town” where every man, woman, and child was dependent on one wealthy family. And she’s never forgotten their spoiled son and his two friends, who changed her life forever.

Even after she achieves professional success, her violent past will not allow her to enjoy healthy relationships with men–until she meets Dillon Burke, whom she hires to build the construction project in Palmetto that will spell financial ruin to Neal Patchett and his father.

“A heroine with a one-track mind can be tedious, but Brown’s portrayal of Dillon Burke, a man who has experienced his own tragedy, as a well-rounded character in his own right adds depth to a fast-paced drama.” Publishers Weekly
