From one of Australia's hottest new authors comes a story about an international scandal, a billionaire, and a fearless reporter who might just save the day... Confined in a cold, dull room in the depths of a Shanghai airport, a journalist chasing a career break and a businessman with a shadowy past play a game of truth or dare — deliberately not exchanging names.

But it will also rip them apart. And it will take more than daring before they can build a new truth together.From the AuthorSee Trailer on Ainslie Paton's author site.
