This book started with a chilling, ominous tone that remained throughout the book and made it unputdownable. When I read the opening line above I got shivers down my spine. “I hear the crack of his skull before the splattering of blood reaches me.” After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of really happened the day her daughter died. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime.
