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 recognise - 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 realises 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?
