Struggling single-mom Alana Shropshire assiduously avoids her family until her grasping brothers offer to pay her to prevent a 29-year-old from marrying their wealthy septuagenarian father. That should take just one little trick, but things spin rapidly out of control. From award-winning Canadian author Friedman; with a 75,000-copy first printing.

Alana Shropshire grew up in the lap of luxury, but she gave it up to escape her toxic family. Now she lives a modest life in Toronto, working at a nonprofit and caring for her daughter, who has muscular dystrophy. When Alana's father announces his upcoming wedding, she must return to the world she left in Vancouver. The bride is Kelly McNutt, Ed Shropshire's twenty-eight-year-old nurse, who is clearly out to steal his estate. Alana's brothers, who work for their father's company and are rolling in cash, offer her a reward if she can get Kelly to disappear. It's enough to replace Alana's ailing car, so she agrees to try. Kelly isn't going away so easily, though. As secrets pile up, Alana is dragged into a web of deceit. This perfectly paced novel mixes intrigue, drama, and mystery. Each reveal is timed to keep readers glued to the pages, and no character is safe from the others' lies. With so many appealing factors, this book will be popular with a wide range of patrons.
