Blinded by the trappings of the lifestyle she offers him, he ignores the warnings of his grandmother to stay away from her. By the time Tirrell finds out that Alex Solomon is not who she appears to be, it's almost too late, as he puts his life and the lives of his family in danger. With his world falling to ruin, will Tirrell be able to right the wrongs he's done and prove that he's not he pariah his family believes him to be?
