    About this audiobook

    ""This gripping page-turner asks the reader: What is more dangerous—a secret or a lie? This propulsive read had me at chapter one and kept me turning the pages long after lights out.” —Lisa Barr, award-winning author of The Unbreakables

    In this twisty, compelling thriller, perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, when her new husband insists they follow one rule: they don’t talk about the past. But it’s a rule that has dangerous consequences.

    Is her new husband hiding. something? 

    Caught up in a whirlwind romance that starts in sunny Ibiza and leads to the cool corridors of a luxurious English country estate, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone seriously question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and, okay, a little mysterious—but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private? 

    Maybe he's not the only one… 

    Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes, as others do, that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. What's the harm in letting them believe that? 

    How far will they go to keep the past buried? 

    Isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, Poppy starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of, to imagine what harm he might be capable of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter. But Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission…
