When old bloodlines resurface and buried secrets threaten to ignite a war, they are forced into an alliance neither of them can afford - and neither of them can resist. Trust is fragile. Desire is lethal. And in a kingdom ruled by power, love is the most dangerous weapon of all. In velvet shadows, vendettas don't fade. They rule.

Jenny Cartwright was the kind of girl everyone in Willow Creek claimed to love-sweet, helpful, always smiling. She was a straight-A student and part of the popular clique at Willow Creek High. But unlike the typical high school queen bee, Jenny never mocked or bullied anyone. She treated everyone with kindness, regardless of their background, social standing, or quirks. She had plenty of friends-and, as far as anyone knew, not a single enemy. But a week before junior prom, Jenny's body was found in a decaying alley on the edge of town-beaten, bruised, and horrifyingly mutilated. She'd been perfectly fine the day before. So what happened to her? Who could have done this-and why? Highest ranking: No# 1 in INVESTIGATION. #1 in SOLVE. #1 in SOLVING. #11 in DECEPTION. #1 in MURDER MYSTERY
