Her first love. A tragic death. The guilt that never went away.
When she was younger, Claudia Aldridge swore that nothing could ever tame her wild and free-spirited ways. Then her reckless actions destroyed the person she loved most.
Now, Claudia is a picture of control: a no-nonsense businesswoman managing a student apartment building in an elite mountain college town. Her past? Locked away. No one-not even her husband or her two best friends-knows the truth.
But her carefully-built existence threatens to crumble when college student Paxton Gale is found dead in her building, under eerily familiar circumstances. Claudia's impulsive instincts return as she digs into the mysteries surrounding Paxton's death and, to her surprise, finds herself on the trail of a killer. Soon, she's risking her marriage, her friendships, and her career in her drive for justice.
Except...if she's gone this far, she may as well get revenge while she's at it.
Her younger self would approve.
