Publisher's summary

Betrayal was just the beginning…

Melanie Hale is a devoted mother to her two children, a diligent caregiver to her ailing mother-in-law and a trusted neighbor in their wealthy Louisiana community. Above all, she's a loving partner to her wonderful husband, Collin.

Then there are the parts of herself that Mel keeps hidden. She's exhausted, worried and unfulfilled. So much so that one night, after a writers' group meeting, Mel begins an affair with a successful local author named Luke. Suddenly she's transformed into a role she doesn't recognize—a woman who deceives with unseemly ease. A woman who might be capable of just about anything.

When Mel finds Luke's dead body in his lavish rented house, she realizes just how high the stakes have become. Not only does she have to keep her affair a secret in order to preserve her marriage, but she desperately needs to avoid being implicated in Luke's death. But who would want to kill him? Who else in her life is keeping secrets? And most terrifying of all, how far will they—and she—go to keep those secrets hidden?

Great read! Worth the credit!

It surprised me how much I liked this story, given that it was from one person’s perspective. I found myself agreeing with the character and her thought processes for her decisions. It kept me so intrigued that I finished it in just a few days. I wish it hadn’t ended as I really liked her tenacity and wanted to see what would happen next. I’d definitely purchase another book from this author.

It kept my interest. Not my favorite protagonist. Loved the narrator - she is one of my favorites.

Thought it was going to take a Verity turn for a minute

I liked this book, worth a credit I would have liked a few more twists and turns but it was still good. For one hot minute I thought it was going to take a Colleen Hoover turn like In Verity but it didn’t. If you know or have read Verity and then read this one you will know exactly what I mean.

RE: Intense

First, there is a DV/SA trigger warning for this one. Written in first person, this story starts out with a forbidden connotation and a host of relatable characters. The author draws you in with probably universally relatable concerns and revelations; the narrator does an amazing job to the point that it is easy to forget she is not simply sharing her story. There is a very human element to these characters, and ultimately a desire to know more about them, and even to know that they’re going to be ok, albeit forever changed. And as is typical with this author, there is plenty of female empowerment, even in the midst of vulnerable, insecure moments.
