    About this ebook

    Marisol's family is on the brink, and the man she falls for may just push them over the edge.

    Law student Marisol Clay loves her sister Dawn--most of the time, at least. She's been picking up Dawn's messes her whole life, always trying to be the reliable daughter, the dutiful daughter, the daughter who stays out of trouble . But when Dawn is arrested, not for youthful indiscretion but high-stakes burglary, Marisol copes by getting into trouble of her own:

    Randal Cairns.

    Randal is the billionaire who solved California's drought, then disappeared from the public eye. He has stone-worn hands and hungry eyes, a perfect face with a vicious scar, a past he won't discuss and kinky secrets he wants to share with Marisol. He's the perfect distraction.

    Or would be, if Dawn hadn't stolen from him.

    Now Marisol is wrapped up in a world of crime and conspiracy, torn between her desires and her duties, tasked with saving her sister and unraveling a plot that threatens all that she loves. She's not prepared for any of this. She isn't even sure she'll make it out alive. And if she does, will she be able to look herself in the mirror?

    "This was literally the best book that I have read in the past 2 years, and I can’t recommend it enough!" -Crystal Marie, Crystal's Many Reviewers

    This is a stand-alone novel without a cliffhanger ending.

    Q K Carpenter

    Q.K. Carpenter is a completely real person with a Social Security number and everything. He's totally not the absurdly pseudonymous persona of a mopey white dude poet who sometimes gets tired of moping and just wants to write cool stories. He non-fictionally lives in the real world on the cliffs of a pretty, snowy mountain in an undisclosed location and subsists entirely on raw salmon. He has no major personality flaws and is well-liked by his peers, all of whom also definitely exist. Q.K. started writing because he loves entertainment that's carefully-crafted and thought-provoking but not a chore to get through, like romances that feel real or action movies with vibrant characters or serial killer thrillers that are just super pretentious. He thinks the avant-garde is great and all, but sometimes crappy genre conventions are the important spoons of sugar to help the abstract medicine down. When he's not being aggressively midbrow or spearfishing the finest salmon in [REDACTED], Q.K. enjoys spending time with high self-esteem and lack of meaningful regrets.
