Tagline: "Thrill is when heart seems like to have been ejected from its place"

Some families are built on love. Others on lies. And some... on blood. Tesha never trusted Bridget the charming woman her mother randomly reconnected with after decades apart. Her smile was too polished, her presence too perfect. But when Bridget weasels her way into their home, into their hearts, and finally into a "girls-only" cruise vacation with Tesha's mother, Tesha's gut tells her something isn't right. She's not wrong. Soon, secrets unravel: Bridget isn't just an old friend she's a woman with a vendetta rooted in betrayal, obsession, and death. As Tesha digs deeper, she discovers that Bridget was connected to Naomi, a girl who vanished without a trace... and that Tesha's own bloodline hides more than one devastating truth including the identity of her real father. With the help of her sharp-witted cousin Stephan, her emotionally guarded brother Worrick, and Dean a boy who's more connected to Bridget than any of them realized Tesha races to expose the darkness lurking beneath Bridget's perfect facade. But when their plan backfires and they're captured, it's up to the very people who failed them before Detective Carter, Jamel, and a newly awakened Dean to bring them back before Bridget makes her final move. In a chilling climax of truth, blood, and betrayal, Tesha must decide what kind of legacy she's going to leave behind: one of fear... or one of fire.

Adrenaline rush awaiting darlings...
