Is she falling for a killer?
After an ugly divorce, Melissa Burke isn’t looking for a new relationship right away—only distance from her ex, a safe neighborhood for her five-year-old son, and space to rest and heal from the emotional scars of a broken marriage. But an unexpected admirer is exactly who she finds at a friend’s dinner party when she meets Thomas Danver, a charming widower who asks for her number at the end of the night.
Intrigued, Melissa learns from her neighbors that Thomas is a dedicated father of two girls, one of the most respected pediatricians in the city—and an exonerated murder suspect. Thomas’s first wife went missing three years ago, presumed dead. Thomas was eventually cleared of her murder, but that didn’t stop the investigation from becoming a local media sensation. While some still believe he killed his wife, Melissa’s friends insist that he couldn’t hurt a fly. Attracted to Thomas and also fascinated by the case, Melissa agrees to one date—and finds herself quickly swept into an obsessive, whirlwind romance.
But when Melissa receives a chilling, anonymous thread—or perhaps it’s a warning—she begins to question how much she truly knows about the man she’s falling in love with. Is he really innocent?
