Betrayed and enraged, Carol must regain control....but is it too late?
If a heroine who is NOT 20, with some intelligence and strength yet vulnerable to love and passion, this is the story for you! I LOVED that the reader got to see what one of the book's main characters didn't know, great fun following the strong woman at the fore of this book. Would love to know what happened after the book ended! Sequel, Piken Sander??
