A brutal tragedy ended Ivy Hill's happy family and childhood. Now in her twenties and severely troubled, she barely has a life-or much to live for. Until the day she discovers the name of the woman who destroyed her world: Lola Maxwell-the mega-wealthy socialite with a heart, Miami's beloved "first lady" of charity. Accomplished, gorgeous, and oh-so-caring, Lola has the best of everything-and doesn't deserve any of it. So it's only right that Ivy take it all away . . .

Little by little, Ivy infiltrates Lola's elite circle, becomes her new best friend-and plays Lola's envious acquaintances and hangers-on against her. But seducing Lola's handsome, devoted surgeon husband turns into a passionate dream Ivy suddenly can't control. And soon, an insidious someone will twist Ivy's revenge into a nightmare of deception, secrets, and betrayal that Ivy may not wake up from . . .
