A gripping new novel from bestselling author J. D. Mason about a wealthy Texas family and the one woman who holds--and will reveal--all their dirty secrets

Desdimona Green has been the name on everyone's lips in Blink, Texas. Twenty-five years ago, at the age of eighteen, she shot and killed one of Blink's wealthiest men, a pillar of the community, oil baron Julian Gatewood. The Gatewood family was considered untouchable, so the whole state of Texas was rocked to its core over Julian's murder. But people were even more shocked to discover that Desi was Julian's daughter and that her mother had been his lover for years.

When Desi gets out of jail and promptly inherits millions from Julian's estate, everyone knows that there is much more to the story--and Desi Green is the keeper of the Gatewood secrets, including what happened the night Julian died. When a famous true-crime reporter shows up on her doorstep wanting the full story, Desi agrees to reveal all, much to the horror of the Gatewoods, who will do anything to stop her. But Desi has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.
