Now engaged, the future CEO of the billion dollar Baton Rouge conglomerate knows she too is looking at her true love when Dean sets his sights on her once again. Both are from different worlds and Liza's world forbids him entry. Under no uncertain circumstances would Dean ever be allowed to play in the rich boys' sandbox. That was why he left but Liza was why he could not stay away. Neither can stop their demanding hearts back in play.Instead of taking his own advice to stay away when his mother opens an unexpected shimmering invite to the Donovan's Halloween gala, Dean goes against his instincts and pulls up to the grand estate.

Liza must know, but to find out she must leave behind her compliance and recognize the powerful forces relentlessly pushing her life's course.The problem is , the more she digs, the more horror she unearths about the world of the glamorous Donovans, the very world she so blindly went along with and perpetuated - until now. The problem is, she is no longer blinded. She is fully awake and Liza must dig in and find the lioness in herself and dethrone Jonathan Donovan. Only she has the mean, the name, and the potential to put everything right.
