Laney Cavallo had a charmed life. Two wonderful kids and the love of the best woman she'd ever known—after years of unhappiness, she had it all. Then the one evil in her life that she couldn't shed finally did his worst: after years of blackmailing her into silence, her power-drunk ex-husband has made her silence permanent. Now she can't warn her beloved Mara that he plans to come after her next, and that even the kids aren't safe. Unfinished business, undying love and the burden of her own complicity drive Laney to take action, hoping it's not too late to save the people she loves. It would be easier if she weren't already dead... A haunting, passionate, breathtaking story unfolds in Sara Marx's solo debut novel.
