A psychic desperate to escape her destinyâand a killerâfinds her future in the coastal town of Burning Cove, in New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quickâs latest novel.
Being Madame Ariadne, Psychic Dream Consultant, wasnât Prudence Rylandâs ideal gig, but it paid well, which was reason enough to do the workâuntil she realized that her latest client intended to kill her.
But Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away as possible and is finally able to relaxâwhich turns out to be a big mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to a dead man.
With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras, and police sirens in the distance, itâs obvious sheâs being framed for the manâs murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone believe her?
Prudence thinks itâs unlikely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his associate, Jack Wingate, will buy her seemingly outrageous claims of being the target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and at worst, a murderer. And
Jack Wingate does seem to be someone intimately familiar with violence, going by his scarred face and grim expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says heâll help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack
protecting her. However, who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with this enigma of a man?
