But just days later, her sister and grandmother are murdered and she must confront the unthinkable: is Will a man she can trust, a killer--or both? After surviving a near-fatal attempt on her life, Ellie makes a desperate move: she takes her young niece Lissie and runs to England with Will. There, fiery passion becomes possession, London paparazzi call her by another name, and assassins of a secret society close in after the stunning truth about Ellie's family is exposed. When Will suddenly disappears after putting a ring on her finger, Ellie must find the strength to elude assassins, disentangle herself from the haunting lies she's lived for twenty-seven years, and answer one pressing question: who is Ellie James?"--Back cover.
