A gorgeous blond slumped in her convertible...the top's down and it's pouring rain. Of course Diana would stop only to discover it's that actress who was so rude to her at a party less than an hour ago. This is only the beginning for Diana Mendoza, scriptwriter for a popular TV detective series, as she finds herself drawn into a plot she didn't create. When prime suspect, Lauren, pleads with her for help, Diana decides to help, as it might make an interesting story. But things are not that simple and despite her best intentions, passion seems to be taking precedence over politics.

CAN I TRUST HER? is the story of high school juniors, Virginia and Katie, living in Anchorage, AK, who were 8th grade sweethearts until Katie was forced to move away under mysterious circumstances.
