Madeleine Harrington has lived in East Hampton for a year now and hasn't made any progress in befriending the snobby rich wives in the neighborhood, so it seems like a blessing in disguise when Allie Dalton moves in at the gorgeous house at the end of the block. What starts out as an innocent night of drinking with the new neighbors quickly has Madeleine's life completely turning upside down as she comes to face with her husband's cheating, but before she can make a choice, her husband's mistress turns up dead and somebody tries to kill her, too.

Claire Bennett has mastered the art of surviving without feeling. A sarcastic, emotionally distant ER nurse working endless night shifts in the Pediatric and OB/GYN units, Claire keeps everyone at arm's length after the stillbirth that destroyed both her heart and her relationship two years earlier. Her life is quiet, controlled, and painfully empty-exactly how she wants it. Until a blizzard changes everything. After a devastating car accident during the worst storm the city has seen in years, Claire hears something impossible beneath the wind and wreckage: a newborn baby crying alone in the snow. The infant, known only as Baby Doe, has no family, no name, and nowhere to go. Claire tells herself the attachment is temporary. Just another patient. Just another child she'll eventually have to let go of. But the more time she spends with the baby in the NICU, the more the walls around her heart begin to crack. And for the first time since losing her daughter, Claire starts to wonder if the storm didn't just take something from her. Maybe it left something behind, too. ✨ This story is now available for purchase on Amazon Kindle ✨
