Nina Browning is living the good life after marrying into Nashville’s elite. More recently, her husband made a fortune selling his tech business, and their adored son has been accepted to Princeton. 

Yet sometimes the middle-class small-town girl in Nina wonders if she’s strayed from the person she once was.

Tom Volpe is a single dad working multiple jobs while struggling to raise his headstrong daughter, Lyla. His road has been lonely, long, and hard, but he finally starts to relax after Lyla earns a scholarship to Windsor Academy, Nashville’s most prestigious private school.

Amid so much wealth and privilege, Lyla doesn’t always fit in—and her overprotective father doesn’t help—but in most ways, she’s a typical teenaged girl, happy and thriving.

Then, one photograph snapped in a drunken moment at a party, changes everything. As the image spreads like wildfire, the Windsor community is instantly polarized, buzzing with controversy and assigning blame.

At the heart of the lies and scandal, Tom, Nina, and Lyla are forced together—all questioning their closest relationships, asking themselves who they really are, and searching for the courage to live a life of true meaning.

I watch Erika Ellis’s every move as she struts about town. Every night she appears in my living room, bedroom, and even on the screen of my phone. Though her image appears to thousands, I’m the only audience she should want.

It enrages me to entertain the idea that other people—other men—are watching as she smiles for the cameras, flaunts her shapely legs with tall high heels and short hemlines, or laughs with her co-anchor.

The other people don’t matter. They don’t know her like I do.

They haven’t taken the time to learn her desires.

I have spent years and it’s time for it to pay off.

I know what she needs, wants, and deserves—the accolades and punishments.

I’ll bring her fantasies to life, even the ones she’s yet to realize. My plan is in motion and there’s nothing she can do or say to change the course of our future.

I’m Victor Cross, the only man for the job. She will call me Sir.
