She was beautiful.

Kind.

Graceful.

People shied away, afraid to break someone they thought was so fragile.

Until someone sought her out.

And he vowed to shatter her.

So when he did the unthinkable, everyone assumed she wouldn't be able to recover. Except she came the next day and she looked just as flawless as usual with a dangerous calm to her...

And then the person they thought would break her turned up missing.

They all knew now.

She was strong.

She was untouchable...

---

Aria Thorne was living the good life, a wealthy life. While that should have condemned her and it should have made her selfish, she was the exact opposite. She was selfless and cared for everyone she saw.

There wasn't a bad bone in her body.

Maybe that's why it looked like she had the perfect alibi when Eric Wayne disappeared from the small town in Virginia...

Aria couldn't have done anything to Eric. She was too sweet to do such a thing, even to a horrible person who did a terrible thing to her. But then why was she so calm? So collected...

Detective McCain Ryder is determined to find out just that.

He's going to uncover every dirty secret, every spec of evidence to discover just what exactly happened to Eric Wayne.

Aria had some work to do if she wanted to remain innocent...
