I didn't mean to get involved with a married man - I had no idea he had a family at home. But by the time I found out about Helen I was head over heels in love with him. I would have done anything for Ralph... that is, until I found out what he was really hiding.

The night it happened, I was standing on his doorstep, waiting for him to let me inside. Helen was at a parent-teacher conference and I was hoping this was the moment Ralph finally decided to end his broken marriage and be with me. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I sometimes think I never really knew Ralph at all. Because I never thought he'd be capable of doing what he did. It wasn't only dangerous, it was very, very wrong. And I'm not talking about cheating on his wife.

As I said, I came there that night hoping to finally be with the man I love. The very last thing on my mind was killing him.

No marriage is ever what it seems from the outside. A compulsively unputdownable domestic thriller from a USA Today bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Silent Wife.
