When Seattle homicide detective Ethan Marks confesses his brief affair with his partner, his wife, ER physician Sloane Marks, is devastated. She knows she has to learn to trust Ethan again and to ignore his overtime hours and inattention if she wants to make her longtime goal of motherhood a reality. Still wounded by Ethan’s betrayal, she has a chance meeting with her college lab partner. The shy, geeky boy she remembers is now Brody Carr, billionaire creator of a dating app. You know where this is going and you know it is a mistake. What you don’t know is just how big a mistake it will be. Within weeks, Sloane is involved in what may be murder, blackmail, stalking and career ending actions. The only person she can turn to for help is Ethan, her estranged husband. Does he still love her? Or will he sacrifice her to save his own career?

Audrey Cole is at her best! A fast-paced, totally believable domestic thriller, The One is impossible to put down. Sloane Marks is a sympathetic character whose desperation is obvious while Ethan is a victim of some very bad choices. A definite 5 star read!

Thank you to NetGalley, BookGoSocial and Audrey J. Cole for this ARC.

Ethan has a one night stand with his work partner. Sloane wants to get even, and bumps into Brody, who was at college with her, and has become a billionaire thanks to the dating app he created.
Brody is separated from his model wife, and when Sloane is on duty in the ER, Brody's wife is brought in after drowning during a dive. Sloane is the doctor that pronounces her dead.
The death is treated as suspicious, and Ethan is on the case.

Wow, this is a stunningly addictive novel! I started it and could not put it down till I finished it in the early hours of the morning.
It is very fast paced, and the reader just has to see what happens next.
I can't say I like many of the characters, and was surprised with the epilogue.
But I do recommend. If you want a thrilling read, pick this up and enjoy it. I did!
Will definitely keep an eye out for other novels by this author!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
