A double life. A trail of wreckage. And a harrowing winter journey toward redemption.
To her loving mother, Freya Ackerson is a devoted daughter. To her closest friend Deanna, she is the sweet-natured girl she has known since childhood. But as the head of PR for Arcadia Studios, Freya operates as something "The Shotgun," a feared, faceless entity sabotaging her rivals with precision-targeted media hits, bringing even the biggest of productions to a halt with just one shot.
But when her latest scheme ruins the life of an innocent author—leaving him publicly vilified and without a dime in compensation—Freya is forced to face the human cost of this addictive game. Shaken by the knowledge of the lives she has shattered, Freya makes a desperate choice to abandon the shotgun forever.
Yet, stepping away from her past is only the beginning. As her carefully constructed world implodes, Freya must face the fallout of her exile from the world where she had found success, and a treacherous winter road trip to face the man she ruined. But when true atonement requires a public sacrifice that could not only destroy her reputation completely, but irrevocably fracture the precious bond she shares with her mother, can a now-broken Freya ever hope to find herself again?
