Now is her chance turn to free herself from fear and stand up against the family who tried to destroy her.
Jade's day of reckoning is coming...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jade Sperry's entire professonal life is dedicated to one purpose: revenge. As a pretty and intelligent high school senior she is raped by three classmates, an attack instigated by Neal Patchett, the son of the most powerful man in Palmetto, S.C. No one, not even her own mother, believes Jade's tale, and her boyfriend, led to think she cheated on him, commits suicide. Jade vows to destroy all three boys, especially Neal. She has become pregnant from the attack, but she wins a full scholarship to college and takes her baby son with her. Even after she achieves professional success, her violent past will not allow her to enjoy healthy relationships with men--until she meets Dillon Burke, whom she hires to build the construction project in Palmetto that will spell financial ruin to Neal Patchett and his father. A heroine with a one-track mind can be tedious, but Brown's ( Mirror Image ) portrayal of Dillon as a well-rounded character in his own right adds depth to a fast-paced drama. Doubleday Book Club selection.

Great book
I love Sandra Brown! Although this book was predictable you couldn't help turning the next page to see if your prediction was right!
This was published in 1991!!!
Why is iBooks putting this in the "new" category? It is very misleading to pretend some of the books are a new release...disappointing.
Great read
Couldn’t put it down
