In this powerful page-turner from the author of The Flip Side of Money, a woman’s “perfect” life crumbles in the wake of a devastating betrayal…

 It’s no wonder Angela Rivers feels satisfied—maybe a little too satisfied—with her life. Married to handsome congressman Will, with a successful career as an investigative reporter-turned-talk show host, Angela has everything under control. Then a tape surfaces of Will having sex with an underage girl. Suddenly, Will is in jail, Angela is broke and jobless, and their marriage is over.

Humiliated to be in the middle of a media firestorm after turning the spotlight on others for so long, Angela flees California for Chicago. There, with the support of her friend Regina, she begins to get her career back on track. Dating is the furthest thing from her mind—until she meets marathon coach Jesse, who’s also piecing his life together after a break up. In spite of their wariness, and the problems caused by Jesse’s teenage daughter, the attraction blossoms. And when Will returns, vengeful after losing everything, Angela must find a way to defend her good name, her reputation, and the unexpected love that has come to mean so much.
