Summary
"In the politically prominent Dickinson family, ambition comes first, and Melissa, the third child, has always felt that she comes last. Going away to college offers a chance at a life free from her brilliant mother's constant scrutiny and her famous father's lack of interest." "There she meets Blake, a man of mixed race and apparently unknown parentage. His adoptive parents are lawyers whose defense of deathrow cases has brought them head-to-head with Melissa's father, the former governor of Pennsylvania who is now a U.S. senator." "Melissa and Blake's attraction is immediate; their affair, fiery. Yet Blake is keeping a dangerous secret from Melissa, one that could destroy them - and their families."--BOOK JACKET.
