“Ava Anderson, an investigative journalist discovers that the death of her father which the police had ruled as Suicide was actually murder, with all evidence pointing to Ethan Walker, New York's most eligible bachelor and CEO of Eagle's Logistics. Part of what her father had written was about Ruby. Determined to avenge the death of her father and also save her Job as an investigative journalist, she goes undercover to work for Eagle's Logistics. Inside the den of Lions, she discovers that what she was up against was much bigger that Ethan Walker himself. Secrets and lies that would have been better off in the dark. Despite her growing fear and anxiety, she must remind herself that Ethan Walker was a foe and not a friend as she discovers she was falling slowly and unwillingly in love with him. Will what she thought as the truth really turn out to be a lie?, With every step she takes closer to the truth and the identity of Ruby she found it was a step closer to her death and the one she had come to love the most...”
