When everything she's fought for begins to fall apart, how far will she go to hold it together? "Heavy is the head that wears the crown" - and Millie Ward is about to learn just how true that is.

But some secrets refuse to stay buried. As the truth comes to light and the pressure mounts, Millie makes a reckless choice that could destroy everything she's built.
