Kiki Swinson's bestselling novels burn with extraordinary characters,
triple-down twists--and a raw portrait of Southern life only she can
deliver. Now she turns up the heat as a young woman cashes in on a sure
thing--only to find some addictions are always killer . . .
Break the rules
At first, Misty Heiress just wants to help. With her cousin Jillian in
constant pain, and the doctor refusing to prescribe, Misty steals
opioids from the Virginia Beach pharmacy where she works. But when
Jillian starts reselling them to local dealers and gets big money, Misty
grabs an unbelievable opportunity to get out of debt--and fulfill all of
her and Jillian's dreams . . .
Live the dream
Misty soon realizes that her boss, Sanjay, has the same idea, ordering
more drugs than patients need and always being out of stock. And when
the new pharmacy owner takes an interest in Misty, she knows that time
is running out for her and Jillian to make their plans work . . .
Pay the price
But then the Feds come calling . . . and Sanjay's mafia partners want to
increase orders . . . and Jillian's bringing in partners to rob the
pharmacy. It's all too much for Misty. It's only a matter of time before
everyone's plans to make money will have them all paying the ultimate
price . . .
