The ceremony is a step away, and everyone is watching.

Calise Thomas must prove her worth. With the pre course assignment at hand, she'll either be crowned as an official spade, or sent back home to deal with her remarried dad and his trophy new wife, Laura. Even if it means breaking the law, she'll do whatever it takes to stay in the same house with Chris.

The man who is too professional to love and too busy to feel sends Calise mixed messages about his affection for her and leaves her desperate for something more substantial. It's not long before she finds herself lured into a dangerous entanglement that could jeopardize everything she's worked hard for, including her undercover identity.

A statue. A letter. A secret.
And only one thing's certain . . .
A Murder.
