When the light of truth forces acts of deception to disperse from darkness, lovers tug at war with a rope weaved of broken hearts. Betrayal lingers in the ashes of a diminished dynasty, dancing over skeletons of paramours to the song of consequences and accountability. It was only to hope that the wind of redemption was powerful enough to move the remnants of deceit's aftermath, and that the sea of forgiveness was ferocious enough to drown its memories.
Valerie Hanson is a forty-two year old CEO of one of the largest and fastest growing conglomerates in the world. The woman has a lot of competitors and enemies, including herself. On the outside looking in, Valerie is the embodiment of perfection. While she knows that isn't true, there's never any harm in wearing a false reality like armor. Supposedly she's been wearing it for far too long, through too many storms and battles. Rusted, bent, and stiffened, it has to come off.
Jennifer Lavich believed she was able to see through Valerie's farces. She'd have been better off inspecting her own delusions, however. The truth was staring back at her all along, unfortunately she chose to be blind to it. Now that the lights have come on, and everything she wished to keep in the dark stands shimmering before her, she's forced to face her fiercest enemy yet--herself.
