The #1 NY Times bestselling writer of Seeing Crimson ignites crackling suspense and fiery emotion in an unforgettable novel of passion and vengeance.

When her younger brother, Danny, commits suicide, Sayre Lynch breaks her vow never to return to her Louisiana hometown, and gets attracted back to her tyrannical father’s web. He and her old brother-who control the town’s single market, an iron foundry-are as corrupt as ever. Worse, they have hired a shrewd and disarming fresh lawyer, Beck Product owner…a man with his very own agenda. When the police determine that Danny’s suicide was actually a homicide, Sayre must battle her family-and her passionate feelings for Beck-as she confronts a powder keg of aged hatreds, past offences, and a surprising plan of revenge.
