Prize nominee Stacey Abrams, writing under her pen name Selena Montgomery, tells
an unforgettable story of a high-powered Atlanta lawyer who is forced to
confront her painful past and prove her innocence to the man she loves.

Kell Jameson has the life she’s always dreamed about. A

compelling, unfortunately she represents his prime suspect. Forced to work
together, they dig deep into the town’s scandals to uncover the truth. But Kell
has a secret of her own…
