Anabel Martin’s world was destroyed the day her father was murdered. After spending seventeen
years of her life trapped on a Top Secret island in the South Pacific, she now finds herself in Washington,
DC in the care of her former politician brother and his unwelcoming wife.

While she wants nothing more than to be left alone, instead she is thrust into the limelight as a key
witness in the Congressional hearings investigating the murder of her father and the very existence of
her former home. For Anabel, it’s hard to concentrate on these proceedings when the thing she wants
most in the world is for Jared Sorensen to die.

What’s even worse is that Jared is the only reason she’s still alive.
