When rumours had spread in her small hometown about her father's death, Lauren Hopkins had no choice but to leave. 

Moving to a new town and calling it your new 'home' is not the easiest thing to do. Her new identity as Lara Jenkins has taken time to get settled but she eventually becomes relaxed, make friends and just chill.

But when an old friend pays her a visit, things spiral out of control. The past had come back to haunt her and survival becomes priority number one.

A scandal is the last thing Lauren wants to be a part of, but unfortunately, she is smack-down in the middle of one, and the only way for it to dissipate is to get to the bottom of her father's controversial death.
