Joy. 

Meaning? A great pleasure or happiness. 

For Joy DeVries, her great pleasure comes hand-wrapped with secrets and murder. 

Joy DeVries grew up a childhood star, and it came with as much baggage and scars as one would imagine. Nowadays, she's known as Joy Daisy, a kids show TV legend, and that's all she'd prefer people to see. If they look any closer, they might get a glimpse of the lust-driven, alcohol-consuming, unhinged woman she really is. 

However, Detective Colin Rooker is determined to get to know the woman behind the make-up and frills. He's taken with her, and she's intrigued by him. The only catch to this whirlwind romance? 

Detective Rooker is chasing a serial killer. 

And she's closer than he thinks.
