When a dead body shows up in her pool, a young woman must face the secrets from her past-and a husband she thought she knew-in this twisty, sizzling novel from the authors of Happy Wife.
Este doesn't need anyone-she never has. After escaping from California a few years ago, Este finds refuge in the anonymity and towering mansions of Winter Park, Florida. Finally, she has a glittering pool and a cocktail in hand, with endless time stretching ahead of her and all the money she could ever spend. Who cares if her seclusion and secrets have left her with a social circle of two? Her husband Beau and her best friend Nora are the only company she needs.
But Este's secrets are catching up to her. Six months earlier, when Nora gained national attention as a suspect for her husband's disappearance, Este's picture was flashed onscreen. Suddenly the past she had hoped to keep buried is closing in on her-and Beau might be keeping secrets of his own.
Thrust into a high-stakes murder investigation, Este must unravel a web of lies and secrets to answer the question: What exactly happened in California, and has it come back to haunt her? More importantly: How is she going to get herself out of this mess? Meredith Lavender has spent more than two decades working as a television writer and executive producer.
