Lowen Ashleigh is a writer that is struggling and hasn’t produced anything worthwhile in a long time. She gets a call out of the blue from her agent saying he has a job proposal for her tomorrow in downtown NYC. As she goes to it, she sees a guy step off he sidewalk onto the street and fall . Then, a car runs over the guys head and blood spills over her and people continue to walk by with no notice. She remembers that she moved to the city to be anonymous and believes everyone must be doing that.
She is a few blocks from her appointment and finds a place to freshen up before the big mysterious meeting. When she arrives, her agent talks with her says he has no idea what they want except she has to sign a NDA first.
She accepts the job of a lifetime and meets Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford. Ashleigh is to complete the work of his wife as she has become incapacitated and the public doesn’t know it.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity’s recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.
Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her.
Bedlam ensues and Verity isn’t as incapacitated as everyone is led to believe. She hears everything that is going on in the house and secretly gets herself out of bed. What happens next is maddening and somewhat disturbing.
Does Ashleigh Lowen spill the beans or does Verity do some sick, twisted deed?
