She graduates from Yale in just days, but unlike a typical college student she doesn't have to spend hours looking for a job when she graduates.

The only problem is she has to do everything her family asks for in order to get that money. That includes marrying a man of her family's choosing.

Kinsley thought she had found the truth, but she is only beginning to discover the real truth about her family. About herself. Her heart and body still yearn for Killian, but she has to keep him safe. The only way to do that is to lie, just like everyone has lied to her. Killian thought he had everything he ever wanted. He had the perfect girl. He had the perfect job. All that was missing was a ring on her finger.

Now, she is sitting in a jail cell for something she didn't do, because of him. But, maybe, she deserves to sit in jail anyway to pay for her past mistakes.
