Everyone has that one moment they'd give anything to change.
For Samantha Williams, this happened on a rain-soaked road in the Kentucky countryside ten years ago when she stopped to help a handsome stranger on the side of the road... changing the entire course of her life forever.
Now a decade later, Samantha is a confident and powerful figure in Kentucky's elite, the polished wife of rising political star Jake Williams, and heir-by-marriage to a famed bourbon empire. She's built the life she always dreamed of-respect, influence, a picture-perfect family-and buried the past so deeply she almost believes it stayed there.
Almost.
With a chance encounter, Samantha's tightly controlled world begins to unravel. The man from the roadside is back-threatening everything: her family's reputation, their political ambitions, and the illusion of her perfect family. As she tries to convince herself things will be fine, her worst nightmares start to come true and the story that she's been working to keep hidden is on the brink of coming out.
When a body turns up-murdered and tied to the bourbon business her family controls-the stakes rise even higher. Suddenly, Samantha isn't just protecting her past-she may be fighting for her life.
Samantha finds herself pulled into a dark, twisting mystery that stretches far beyond that rainy night. How much is she willing to risk in order to keep that night a secret?
How far will she go to protect her family, her future, and her life?
