Description
The price of true love is betrayal, suspicion, and murder in a thriller of twisting suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Best Friend.
James and Jessica Sommers are celebrating their first blissful year together, an unexpected second chance at true love. Unfortunately, their newfound shot at happiness is not without collateral damage.
There's Jessica's ex-husband. He pretends for all the world that he's resilient and strong. If only for the sake of their teenage son, profoundly vulnerable in his own way. James's ex has taken a different road. Bitter, vengeful, and threatening, she wants only the worst for the happy couple. And then there's the couple themselves: Are they truly as in love as they seem?
When James enters into an extraordinarily profitable, if shady, transaction with a beautiful art dealer, Jessica and James's seemingly perfect marriage takes a dark and tragic turn.
Amid suspicions, tested loyalties, revenge, and guilt, no one escapes unscathed from sins committed in the name of love.
