Savannah, 1956

She's the Governor's disgrace. He's the hired blade sent to keep her in line.

Veronica Langford was supposed to disappear in silence and shame, virtually erased. Silas Crane was paid to keep her contained.

But when secrets ignite and reputations catch fire, their obsession turns lethal. She wants freedom from the shackles of the Langford name. He wants her.

In a city that worships power and punishes passion, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.
