As a child, Bailey Browne dreamed of a knight in shining
armor swooping in to rescue her and her mother. As she grows
older, those dreams transform, becoming ones of a mysterious
stranger who will sweep her off her feet and whisk her away
from her ordinary existence. Then, suddenly, there he is.
Despite the ten year difference in their ages, her working
class upbringing and his of privilege, Logan Abbott and
Bailey fall deeply in love. Marriage quickly follows.
But when Logan brings her home to his horse farm in
Louisiana, a magnificent estate on ninety wooded acres, her
dreams of happily-ever-after begin to unravel. A tragic
family history she knew nothing about surfaces, plus
whisperings about the disappearance of his first wife, True,
and rumors about the women from the area who have gone
missing—and when another woman disappears, all signs point
to her husband's involvement.
At first Bailey ignores the whispers, even circumstantial
evidence against Logan mounts. But finally, Bailey must make
a choice: believe what everyone says—or bet her life on the
man she loves, but is realizing she hardly knows.
From the author of Justice for Sara, Erica Spindler's The
First Wife is a thrilling new novel that will have you
gasping on every page.
