About the book
Elizabeth Carleton. A beautiful and dazzling concert pianist. She seemed to have it all. But when her fabulously wealthy husband is murdered, Elizabeth stands accused--and not even her surprise acquittal in a cliffhanger trial can quiet the whispers of her guilt. Now three attractive men appear out of her past, offering to help her, to protect her. But whom can Elizabeth trust when she alone knows that the real killer may be stalking her and that her late husband's ruthless family vowed to destroy her?
