THEY CALL ME THE LUCKY ONE. THEY DON''T KNOW I LIED.

Nine years ago, Charlie Colbert''s life changed for ever.

On Christmas Eve, as the snow fell, her elite graduate school was the site of a chilling attack. Several of her classmates died. Charlie survived.

Years later, Charlie has the life she always wanted at her fingertips: she''s editor-in-chief of a major magazine and engaged to the golden child of the publishing industry.

But when a film adaptation of that fateful night goes into production, Charlie''s dark past threatens to crash into her shiny present.

Charlie was named a ''witness'' in the police reports. Yet she knows she was much more than that.

The truth about that night will shatter everything she''s worked for. Just how far will she go to protect it?
