    About this audiobook

    The #1 New York Times-bestselling author "mixes love and vengeance in this fast-paced . . . romantic thriller" (Publishers Weekly).

    In Fern Michaels' dazzling novel, a woman devastated by betrayal embarks on a daring quest for justice.

    She Lost Everything . . .

    Kate and Alex Rocket are blessed with a wonderful marriage and a lovely home. Although Kate can't have children, she and Alex look upon Sara and Emily, daughters of their good friends Don and Debbie Winter, as part of their family.

    Except Hope . . .

    With one phone call, everything changes. Sara accuses Alex of a terrible act, opening up a vicious rift between the couples. Kate watches helplessly as her innocent husband is convicted and sent to prison. But when even greater tragedy strikes, Kate's grief turns to anger, and she discovers an inner strength and steel-edged resolve to clear her husband's name—and ruin those who destroyed their life together. But Kate's greatest challenge will be in avenging Alex without losing her chance at a new future—and a precious new love . . .

    Praise for Fern Michaels

    "Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it."—Los Angeles Sunday Times

    "Michaels' Danielle Steel-like fun read has more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks for the next in the series."—Booklist

    "Michaels just keeps getting better and better with each book . . . She never disappoints."—RT Book Reviews

      Regular fans of Fern Michaels will not be disappointed here. Her plot-driven writing is in full force - I read this entire novel in one day, trying to find out if my predictions about what would happen next would come true. The unfortunate part is that, due to the rather low quality of the writing, my predictions usually did come true - this is what happens when you have a book filled with one-dimensional characters and absurd storylines and ridiculous plot twists that could have come from any daytime soap opera. However, this is what Fern Michaels does best. If you're looking for art or high literature, don't come here. But if you're looking for a remarkable beach read, something you don't have to think about but might want to discuss with your husband later, then this is the book for you.
    • 4/5
      This was my first Fern Michaels book but it definitely will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as I devoured it in one day. I thought it was well written and I could identify with the characters. I would recommend this one to friends as an enjoyable easy read.

      Kate and Alex have the perfect marriage with one exception, they are not able to have children. As a result they treat Alex's best friend's girls as their daughters. After a 2 week visit with Kate and Alex, the youngest girl Sara accuses Alex of molesting her. Alex and Kate must go through the awful ordeal of a trial and all that goes with. A great story that I was not able to put down. I would highly recommend this book.

      This book was just ok for me. It was the story of a perfect marriage between Kate and Alex. Although they do not have children of their own, they love the visits of Sara and Emily. The two girls are the daughters of Alex's best friend, Don and his wife Debbie.However, Sara suddenly exhibits troubling behavior on her last visit. Weeks later, Alex gets a phone call from Don saying that Sara has accused him of molesting her for years. Kate, always believing Alex's innocence, is helpless as her husband goes to trial, is convicted and sent to prison. When even more tragedy occurs, Kate's grief turns to anger and eventually revenge. She embarks on a quest to ruin those involved and clear her husband's name.I thought this story was a bit "over the top." Debbie walks around calling her daughters tramps, Sara is having one temper tantrum after another and Don, just ignores it all...It did not make sense to me that Emily and Sara were such beloved guests for Alex and Kate and then on the last visit, Sara is just plain evil and no one says anything to her parents? Why would Kate put up with Debbie's constant rude remarks and foul treatment of them? Does not make sense that she would take their children in on visits when the mom is so vulgar to Kate....oh well, it was fun to read. The characters were nasty, bent on revenge and it was certainly easy to hate Sara and Debbie.

      Great book! Lots of twists and turns, it will definitely keep you guessing!
    • 5/5
      A must read if you are a Fern Michaels fan. So refreshing to have her put out a book that is not the Sisterhood series or the Godmother series.
    • 2/5
      I received this book through the Library Thing Member Giveaway program. The book was given to me by Kensington Books. I found the story interesting but predictable. The villains were easy to hate, but I really didn't connect with any of the characters. I found myself skimming to get through the book. Not my favorite, but I do have a few friends who would enjoy this kind of story so I will recommend it to them.
