Until she unexpectedly meets a man who will change her life forever. Renowned pro golfer Roland Graham is wealthy, handsome, and caring, and Samira is dazzled. Best of all, he seems to understand her better than anyone ever has. And though their relationship moves a bit fast, when Roland proposes, Samira accepts. She even agrees to relocate to his secluded Colorado mansion. After all, there’s nothing to keep her in Miami, and the mansion clearly makes him happy. Soon, they are married amid a media firestorm, and Samira can't wait to make a fresh start—as the second Mrs. Graham . . . Samira settles into the mansion, blissfully happy—until she discovers long-hidden journals belonging to Roland’s late wife, Melanie, who died in a tragic accident. With each dusty page, Samira comes to realize that perhaps it was no accident at all—that perhaps her perfect husband is not as perfect as she thought. Even as her trust in Roland begins to dwindle and a shadow falls over her marriage and she begins to fear for her own life, Samira is determined to uncover the truth of Melanie’s troubled last days. But even good wives should know that the truth is not always what it seems . . .“Truly riveting." – Urban Reviews “A shocking, sensual thriller.” —Tarryn Fisher, New York Times bestselling author on The Perfect Ruin

Sher Free✌️
"The first half of the book felt like an intense thriller where you don’t know who you can trust. The second half of the book read like an amateur detective novel. I liked that you can’t guess who the victims and culprits are in the first few pages but I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot more. 7/10"

"Started off well, I was hooked within the first few chapters. Then there was a definite lull and it was difficult to get through honestly. Wasn’t a bad read, but wouldn’t read again. "

"Absolutely loved this book. Read it within 3 days- it for sure keeps you guessing and wondering what is to come next. Who did what and go back and question so much of what you already know. Or thought you knew. One of the only books from beginning to end was thrilling and kept you on your toes 10/10. Amazing writing style"
