"Lisa lives a very quiet life. A single mother, she values her privacy and devotes herself to raising her sixteen-year-old daughter, Ava. Wary of men, Lisa doesn't speak of Ava's absent father. Her best friend, Marilyn, wishes she would finally go on a date -- especially with the sexy new client who's obviously keen -- but Marilyn shouldn't be handing out dating advice given her own problems. Ava is getting tired of her overprotective mother. She wants to live like a normal teenager -- chill with friends, go to swim practice, have a boyfriend. Her mom would freak if she knew that Ava's already got someone special, someone exciting, who makes her feel sophisticated -- and wanted. Lisa has spent a long time looking over her shoulder, but lately she's been especially uneasy. Just when she starts to let her guard down, small things from the past intrude upon her carefully constructed life, feeding her anxiety. As her world unravels, Lisa knows that the only way she can protect herself and her daughter is to face her fears. Yet courage won't be enough. She'll need help from the only person she can trust -- Marilyn. Between them they have to save Ava, and to do that, they have to be honest with each other. Truly honest, Marilyn did promise she'd do anything to help. But a long time ago, Lisa made a promise too. Then she broke it. And that betrayal hasn't been forgotten -- or forgiven. Now someone is going to make her pay for her sin." -- From publisher's description.
