Close to finalizing her divorce, Lake Warren is astounded
when her husband decides to file for full custody of their
two children. This is added stress she does not need while
still trying to cope with the break-up of her marriage. On
the bright side, she's working as a marketing consultant
devising a PR campaign for an up-and-coming Park Avenue
fertility clinic. This is where she meets the handsome,
flirtatious Dr. Keaton -- and eventually ends up spending
the night with him. Imagine her shock when she awakes the
next morning to find him in bed with his throat slashed.
Her only thought is to leave as fast as she can, telling no
one what has happened. She'll soon realize that was not the
best thing to do.
Lake never thought she was the type of person to withhold
the truth, but being caught up in a bizarre murder
investigation and the chance she may lose custody of her
kids, changes her principles -- and her life - forever.
I had a few problems relating to Lake and her predicament,
as I never felt enough empathy with her character's
situation and the way she handled things. The plot did keep
me turning pages in anticipation of the outcome and
wondering how it would ever resolve itself. I can't say I
was satisfied with the ending, but it is an interesting
storyline.
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?
