New York Times bestselling author and Cosmopolitan's
editor-in-chief returns with a sizzling, page-turning
thriller in which an ordinary woman flees the scene of a
murder—and realizes it's not just the law that's hunting
her.
When Lake Warren learns that her husband, Jack, is suing
for full custody of their two kids four months after their
separation, she's pretty certain that things can't get any
worse. The upside is that she's working with the Advanced
Fertility Center as a marketing consultant, alongside the
attractive, flirtatious Dr. Keaton. But the morning after
their one-night stand, Lake finds Keaton with his throat
slashed and discovers that things can indeed become worse—
they can become deadly.
So as not to jeopardize her case for custody, Lake is
forced to lie to the police. Having just been intimate with
a man who has been murdered, and wanting to protect herself
from being charged with the crime, she begins her own
search for the truth. Meanwhile, the police start looking
at her closely, people at the clinic start treating her
with hostility, and strange clues begin dropping—quite
literally—on her doorstep, and Lake realizes that she is
dangerously close to dark secrets, both about Keaton and
the clinic. But can Lake stop what she's started before
it's too late?
