About
He swept me off my feet.
And now the ground beneath them is crumbling.
What do you have to lose, Kate? That's what my future husband Ryan asked as we stood on the bluff, gazing out at Lake Michigan.
Turns out, the answer is everything.
After a whirlwind romance, I left Manhattan for the quiet promise of Crest Lake. I thought my biggest challenges would be finding a job and adjusting to small-town life.
I was wrong.
My marriage unraveled. And a year ago, Ryan died in a car accident still shrouded in suspicion.
Now my once-idyllic lakefront home is in crisis. The bluff is crumbling. Property values are plummeting. Neighbors are at war over how to save their homes.
Then, on the night of a critical shoreline vote, my biggest rival turns up dead.
And suddenly, all eyes are on me.
I know what they're thinking.
But I have secrets of my own-and I'll do whatever it takes to keep them buried.
Because in Crest Lake, nothing stays hidden for long.
And the truth might destroy me long before the bluff does.
