She married his brother when she should've chosen him. Now she's divorced, and he's back... older, colder, and the only man who's ever known how to fix her when she's broken.
Tessa thought she knew her life-wife, mother, doing her best to hold it all together. But when her marriage shatters, she's thrown into a storm of secrets, obsession, and manipulation that threatens to consume her. And just when the darkness feels unbearable, Ace-her husband's estranged brother-returns in the middle of the night, stirring feelings she can't ignore and memories she never expected.
Whispers of missing women, a past that won't stay buried, and a web of lies tighter than she ever imagined force Tessa to question everything-her sanity, her safety, and the people closest to her.
Dark, addictive, and impossible to put down, this is a story of love turned lethal, betrayal twisted into power, and the strength it takes to survive when your whole world becomes an illusion.
