Carlin Squire seemingly had it all: she was a Harvard graduate with a fulfilling career in the NYPD and a handsome, charmingly perfect lover in Derek Kingsley - a successful photographer. Then, back into her life came Ben, an adored old high school flame until one hideous night shattered their romance. Ben, now a prominent surgeon, is the one man whom Carlin can't seem to forget - even as a shocking murder brings to light secrets of past betrayals that threaten to destroy their lives, even as it kindles passions that refuse to die.

I have to say that Cynthia Victor is a relatively new author for me, even though I do have several of her books on my shelf at the moment, and I actually cannot remember if I read her books before or not. She is quite a good writer and although this book was slightly more focused on romance than I would have liked; I would still highly recommend this book to others with an A! I would love to read more of Ms. Victor's work at some point. ( )
