It's been a very trying year since Clarisse Ricci's world shattered dramatically. Her beloved father, Lorenzo, a larger-than-life billionaire that everyone admired for his kind, protective nature and savvy business management died suddenly. Everyone called it a tragic accident. Clarisse, however, isn't buying it. Now a senior in high school, with the looming thought of going to university and her future on the horizon, she cannot let go of the feeling that something darker happened. Her life soon takes a dangerous turn. Together with Joseph Samuels, her loyal (and occasionally stubborn) English boyfriend, and her creative thirteen-year-old sister, Camille, Clarisse dives into a mystery that threatens everything her parents built for them. The girls' mother, Isabelle, a world-renowned artist, tries to help, but even she is drowning in her own grief and distractions. Then the real danger steps out of the shadows: Harold Ward, Lorenzo's ruthless former COO, who's determined to claim the Ricci legacy for himself. Suddenly, Clarisse isn't just chasing answers but she is fighting to protect her family's future. If she fails, they could lose everything- their safety, their independence, and their chance at the lives they're just beginning to heal. Clarisse and Joseph thought turning eighteen meant gaining more freedom. Instead, it meant stepping up and risking it all. Will Clarisse and Joseph be able to succeed?

Feeling my ire rise I walked towards him until we were toe to toe. I wanted to slap him but I controlled myself. If he thought that I will cry and grovel in front of him, he had another thing coming. Speaking in a composed voice I said "How presumptuous of you to think that your words will affect me in any way. For your information, I was about to reject you first but you spoke too soon.

Alas, fate was laughing at us and we were the fools about to be played by its hands. This book is dedicated to my all time favourite author KRESLEY COLE❤
