Gilt Book 2: Sin Never Sleeps

If Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars had a snarky, sexy baby, it would be Gilt. On the heels of a brutal attack, Emma Southerly finds herself swept away to Palm Springs, but she can't run from trouble, especially when it has a habit of chasing her down. A mysterious stranger is posting incriminating photos of the less-than-upstanding citizens of Belle Mère, but is it a friendly game or something more sinister? When Jameson West breaks his bail and tracks her down, he delivers more bad news. Emma's landed on the suspect list. No one knows who killed Nathaniel West, but now there are two suspects, two investigations, and two people with every reason to turn on one another.

Someone in Belle Mère is a murderer—someone closer to both of them than they could ever imagine—and unless they stick together, they might find themselves falling into a trap instead of falling in love. Because when the cards are dealt, everyone might lose.

The story begins with Emma Southerly, who, after a brutal attack, finds herself transported to the idyllic setting of Palm Springs. However, her respite is short-lived, as she is unable to escape the troubles that seem to follow her relentlessly. Amidst the tranquility of her surroundings, a mysterious figure begins to surface, posting incriminating photographs of the less-than-reputable citizens of Belle Mère. Is this a harmless game or a more sinister plot?

The narrative takes an unexpected turn when Jameson West, who has broken his bail, tracks down Emma and delivers even more distressing news. Emma has now become a suspect in an ongoing investigation, and the stakes have been raised exponentially. The mystery deepens as it becomes clear that there are two suspects, two investigations, and two individuals who have every reason to turn against one another.

The reader is left to ponder the question of who the real murderer is, and the answer may lie closer to the protagonists than they could have ever imagined. The tension builds as Emma and Jameson are forced to navigate this treacherous landscape, knowing that their only chance of survival may be to trust one another and work together. The threat of falling into a trap, rather than finding love, looms large, and the reader is left to wonder if any of the characters will emerge unscathed when the final cards are dealt.

The narrative skillfully blends elements of suspense, mystery, and romance, creating a compelling and immersive reading experience. The re-arranged language and structure serve to enhance the flow and readability of the text, allowing the reader to fully immerse themselves in the unfolding events. The result is a captivating story that keeps the audience engaged and guessing until the very end.
