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

this was SO GOOD and i didnt see the twist coming at all and i just love shanora williams so much
So twisty and unexpected, but also full of little discrepancies that pulled me out of the story. I enjoyed the plot but it felt kind of forced and gratuitous
The short chapters made this a very quick read for me. The plot was interesting and kept my interest.
I didn't anticipate the major twists, so was surprised at the ending.
At times I felt like the writing was setting up to be a spicy romance, but never got there.
Overall, I gave it three stars because it kept my interest.
Thank you Kensington Publishing for my free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
