About this book

When struggling writer Lowen accepts a job completing a bestselling series for the incapacitated Verity Crawford, she stumbles upon something she was never meant to find—a chilling, unfinished autobiography that rewrites everything she thought she knew about the Crawford family. As Lowen finds herself drawn to Jeremy and entangled in the dark secrets his wife has hidden, she faces an impossible choice: protect a devastating truth or let it destroy everything. This deliciously twisted psychological thriller will keep you questioning what's real, who to trust, and how far someone will go when desperation and desire collide. Fair warning: this one will haunt you long after the final page.

obsessivetensesensualpsychologicalintoxicating

Dark, obsessive energy with sensual intensity. Moody indie and alternative rock paired with sultry R&B and electronic undertones. Think atmospheric tension, forbidden desire, and psychological unraveling. Artists like Phoebe Bridgers, The Neighbourhood, SZA, and Billie Eilish capture this twisted, magnetic pull.
