About the book

In the prominent, political family of the Dickenson, ambition comes first, and Melissa, the third child, has always felt she came last. Going away to college offers her a chance at love and a life free from her brilliant mother's constant scrutiny. When Melissa meets Blake at college, their passion is immediate. Yet Blake is keeping a dangerous secret from Melissa, one that could destroy both them and their families.
