When a struggling young career woman gets swept off her feet by a wealthy, handsome guy, she ignores the nagging feeling in her gut that it's too good to be true. But when she digs into his past, dark secrets emerge. And it might be more dangerous to get out.
Be careful what you wish for.
Mother's voice rings in my ears as I stand perfectly still in the darkness, fearing that each breath I take will be my last. I'm crouched down in the closet with blood on my hands, my legs and back aching to move, even an inch. But I can't. One twitch, one cramp, and I'll bang into a shelf and give myself away.
When Stefan Zeigler swept me off my feet four months ago, I had to fight the voice in my head telling me that my new boyfriend was too good to be true: handsome, wealthy enough to own a home in the Hamptons...and totally into me.
Or was that Lucy's voice, my gal pal attorney friend who doesn't need a man to live large? Or my mom's voice, warning me of controlling prenups and the dangerous secrets of the superrich?
I'd always dreamed of a better life, and working my way there wasn't going so well for me, with my pile of student loan debt, a rent-controlled apartment in Manhattan I could barely afford, and a stable but low-paying PR job.
Is it so bad that I dared to believe in a fairy tale ending, even after I found out about his felon brother? Or his nefarious business associate? Or the fact that his last girlfriend looked a lot like me-and seems to have vanished into thin air?
But now I see that fairy tales have a dark underbelly beneath the glitter, just like my life right now. I'm Erin. I got what I wished for. I'm a rich guy's wife now. And it just might be the death of me.
Rebecca meets The Boyfriend in this twisty, unputdownable domestic thriller full of psychological suspense, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Kaira Rouda, Emily Shiner, Daniel Hurst, and Liv Constantine.
