Summary:

Who knew the marketing world could be so dangerous?

Just when it seems like everything in twenty-eight year old Cassidy Blayne’s life is falling apart, a thrilling coffee shop encounter leads to the opportunity of a lifetime. Landing her dream job as Creative Director with an elite advertising firm in a nearby lakeside town fills her with renewed purpose. She’s no longer going to allow herself to settle, and resolves to rebuild her life on her own terms.

But from the moment she steps foot out of the elevator, she senses things may not be as they seem at Turner & Nash Advertising. Despite her wariness, Cassie puts all her energy into landing her first big account. Arriving early on the day of the presentation, she’s shocked to find one of the owners dead and herself a suspect.

She embarks on a desperate search for answers, unknowingly putting her and the people she cares about in danger. As she pieces things together with some help from her spunky new roommate, twin childhood best friends, an uptight detective, and a gorgeous up-and-coming rock star, warnings and threats escalate. It’s clear the killer will stop at nothing to keep her quiet.

Cassie must risk everything to unravel the murder before someone takes her off the market for good.

Excerpt

“As I got into bed, I tried my best to ignore the sliver of fear making its way into the back of my mind. Everything in my life was finally going in a positive direction. What if I was about to lose it all? I couldn’t let that happen.”

“Sometimes life gives you a big ol’ kick in the rear end. Or in my case, a colossal punt with a steel-toed boot.”

“You’ve ruined me and my family. You’ll pay for this.” The man sneered before he stomped back toward the elevator, brushing past me on his way. The menace in his eyes turned my insides to ice.”

“We were only a few heated minutes into our first round of Clue when Lexi called, frantic. “Cassie, our house was broken into!”

“Something was very wrong about this. I broke into a run, seeing a pop of color become visible against the newly fallen snow. A pink high heeled show peeked out from behind the back tire.”

“The lead singer’s eyes drank mine in as he sang the remaining lines in the song. I stood there, mesmerized. Hello, Seth Justice.”

“Cassie, change is rarely comfortable, but without it, things would never have the opportunity to get better.”
