Description from the publisher:
In the vein of her Inside Out series, New York Times Bestselling Author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the dark, seductive world of the Necklace Trilogy...

Allison Wright is delivered a package meant for a different Allison—a unique, expensive necklace. Determined to right the confusion, she seeks out the proper recipient, a journey that takes her to the doorstep of Tyler Hawk, a good looking, recluse billionaire who deals with fine collectibles such as the necklace. She also learns that Allison, his employee, quit her job registering and restoring his vast assortment of collectibles. Ironically, Allison is the daughter of a rather famous archeologist who is also employed by a local museum, and her love of such things has her jumping at the opportunity. Soon she is spending her evening and weekends immersed in the job the other Allison left behind.

As Allison begins diving into the job for Tyler, secrets about the other Allison begin to surface that have her concerned for her safety. And as she starts hunting for answers, her path crosses with the enigmatic famous author who has a business endeavor with her boss. Dash Black is a man who is dark and edgy, intense and yet quiet. Funny and yet somehow reserved. He draws her in, sets her pulse racing, and her body on fire. She knows there’s a dangerous edge to him, but she can’t seem to care. She’s addicted to everything he is and she simply can’t turn away, no matter what the cost. As Allison is drawn into the life and mystery of the other Allison, a mystery demands answers and passion burns hot. Allison will travel a path that leads to shocking truths and a side of herself she never knew existed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WHAT IF I NEVER? is the first book in the Necklace Trilogy.  This series must be read in the order of release.  Remember Lisa Renee Jones is a queen of cliff-hangers.  When she plans a trilogy – there WILL BE cliff-hangers.  Two days later, I’m still trying to catch my breath.
 
I love Allison.  I love Dash.  I love Allison and Dash together.  They have enough in common to understand each other’s pasts and to appreciate one another in the present.  I want them to have the future that seems possible for them.
 
There are secrets to be uncovered.  Dash has some.  He has revealed a few.  He is open with Allison, and I appreciate that he wants to build trust with her.  Allison is as well.  There are also secrets with Allison’s new boss, Tyler, but even he eventually opens up a bit.  I doubt it’s everything we need to know.
 
With you, I will be holding my breath until December when the second book is released.  For me, the twelfth month of this year is going to have an early Christmas gift!
