Bestselling authors Jayne Ann Krentz and Jane Heller raved about Diana Dempsey's debut novel, FALLING STAR, and Booklist called it "dishy and fun." Now she delivers a stylish and sexy new page-turner about the pursuit of truth-and the power of temptation...

Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks taught Alicia Maldonado that she'd have to fight to get ahead. Though it hasn't been easy, the thirty-something beauty is now Monterey County's star prosecutor. But Alicia's once promising career has stalled-and her alleged love life is in dire need of resuscitation. Then a local millionaire is found murdered, and the kind of case that every prosecutor dreams of handling falls into her lap. Alicia won't let anything jeopardize this opportunity-not even the distractingly handsome news reporter whose interest in her investigation is more than just professional. With her future hanging in the balance, Alicia is about to discover what lines she's willing to cross to find out the truth...and to follow her heart.
