“My name is Serena Sterling, and four years ago, my husband tried to kill me.” Serena’s return to Dallas was for one reason only; her murderous husband owed her something, and she would stop at nothing to take back what’s hers. Zane Carter had only one memory of his wife; she was the selfish woman who had left him and their baby, and he would do anything to protect what was his. But when a perfect reflection of his wife comes waltzing into his life, the once strong and ruthless man finds himself at the mercy of feelings he thought he’d lost forever. Serena and Zane have secrets that have protected them for years. But even secrets have a way of revealing themselves. Someone is lying. Someone knows what really happened four years ago. And as old feelings reignite and their undeniable passion threatens to blur the line between love and hatred, Serena and Zane may discover that the enemy they’ve been fighting all along was never each other.
