After an explosive confrontation with her mother, Katherine "Katie" Morgan left her childhood home on the eve of her high school graduation twenty-five years ago. Now, more than two decades later, the prodigal daughter returns to her hometown, Brooksboro, Georgia, bringing a shadowy danger with her. As Katie attempts to reconcile with her broken-hearted and embittered mother, the past continues to haunt her, threatening to destroy the new life and happiness she has built with her husband, Ben Webster. As Katie confronts the looming shadows of her past, Ben fights the demons of the present when he discovers an illegal escort operation within his five-star hotel. Both Ben and Katie are in danger unless they can expose the darkness that has gripped their lives, all the while moving out of the shadows and into the light.

A little slow at the beginning but it picks up and I started caring about the characters. Katie's past and present life is shown a little at a time. At times it was hard to follow when a new character is suddenly thrown in but all in all a good read. Looking forward to book two and three.
Starts of slow but once things start to get into perspective, Really compelling story. The whole story line draws you in and it’s very interesting. Definitely recommend if you like crime like plots.
