Keeping Enemies Closer

About the Book

Shelby Harrison had everything she could ask for in this world—a wealthy father who doted on her, a great career, and wonderful friends. She thought she had everything she would ever need. Yet when Troy Matthews, the backup quarterback for the Tennessee Vipers, walked into her life with his megawatt smile, she finally knew what she’d been missing. Even though she’d witnessed a horrifying tragedy at a young age that forever changed her life, she kept her hopes high for a future that would let her keep everything she loved. At last, her life seemed to be destined for true happiness. But there were those who would try to take all of that away from her — those whose jealousy, rage, and envy ruled their worlds. Emotions she never felt in herself but powerful enough in others who would stop at nothing to rip her world to shreds and torment her in her nightmares, bringing them menacingly into her life. When disturbing events and seemingly random vicious acts converge, who does she trust? Is everyone in her life as they appear, or is someone hiding a sinister secret? A secret that could destroy her world - or cost her her life.
