Karly Winters has spent ten years longing for the man she believes is her destiny—the charming yet deceitful Jacob Cruthers. From her home in Glasgow, she yearns for the Londoner who keeps her dangling, never offering commitment, never leaving his wife.
But Karly is done playing second best. With a meticulously crafted scheme, she’s ready to claim the life she thinks she deserves. She knows it’s dangerous. She knows someone could get hurt. But in her mind, the prize is worth the risk.
What she doesn’t know is that she isn’t the only one scheming. Hidden players with their own ruthless agendas are moving into place. And when every plan collides, the cost of obsession will be paid in full.
The only question is: who will pay the ultimate price?
