By N.S. Brown In the high-stakes world of Manhattan finance, Julian Brown can balance any ledger-except the one that matters most. For two years, Julian has been running a dangerous deficit in his marriage. He has quietly diverted the financial resources, time, and emotional security of his wife, Clara, to prop up the manufactured crises of Chloe, his toxic childhood friend.

But when a foundation is left in the dark for too long, some cracks are too deep for a ledger to fix.
