Jessica Wakefield is now Mrs. Michael McAllery. But her husband still hasn't changed his troubling ways. Everyone warned her he was bad news. Whom can she turn to now?
Elizabeth Wakefield is determined to find the leader of the evil secret society that attacked her friend Nina Harper. Her only lead is a cryptic message from Tom Watts: The leader is closer than Elizabeth thinks.
Todd Wilkins is about to get busted in an athletics scandal. His college fantasy is turning into a nightmare. Will Elizabeth be there for him when he needs her?
"Shirts on the left, sweaters on the right," Jessica decided as she begun to fold and stack. Her hand touched something hard in the pocket of one of Mike's shirts. Jessica reached in, expecting to find some car part he had forgotten about.
But it wasn't. Jessica stared at the black metal object in her hand, hardly able to believe her eyes. She felt a thrill of fear race up her spine. And where does the gun go? she wondered numbly. On the left or the right?
For a few minutes Jessica just sat there, staring at the gun in her hand, too numb to move or to think. Mike had a gun. Had he ever used it? Would he ever use it? Would he ever use it on her?
Suddenly, like a dam exploding, Jessica started to cry. All the tension and strain and fear of the past weeks came down on her at once. She'd fallen in love with Mike, and she'd thought that meant that she knew him. But she didn't know him. She had no idea who he was, no idea what he would do.
