"One wrong word can ruin your life. No one knows that better than savvy crisis management expert Arden Ward, especially since she's been forced to handle a crisis of her own. Unfairly accused of having an affair with a powerful client, Arden's life and dreams are about to crash and burn.

Cordelia needs Arden's help for her husband Ned, a Boston real estate mogul.
