However, Ethan is not who he seems to be.
Raised in a society where lying is necessary to survive, Ethan Chase is a con man. Employed to control Julia, he views her as only another target, something to be completed and then forgotten. But when he gets involved in her life and is pulled to her kindness and resilience, the façade he worked so hard to create starts to fall apart.
