A secluded villa high in the hills. A lush Spanish landscape overlooking the Mediterranean. A couple torn apart by infidelity. A pair of mysterious visitors. Robyn Harding's spring release has all the makings of a blockbuster hit, and it's no exaggeration to say I inhaled this one in just a few hours.

Sydney Lowe is a public defender in New York, ensuring that every client, regardless of guilt, is given fair legal representation. She's passionate about justice, so her entire life implodes when her husband Curtis admits to a one-night stand with a client. She's already struggling with a deeply personal loss, and her husband's betrayal is more than she can bear. Curtis is so desperate for her forgiveness that he sells his share of his company to his business partner, and he and Sydney move to remote villa in Spain to repair their fractured marriage.

But forgiveness doesn't come easily for Sydney. She constantly checks Curtis' phone and laptop and struggles with intimacy. Sydney doesn't realize how lonely she is until pair of Australian travelers turn up at their door with car trouble. An invitation to lunch turns into an overnight visit that unfolds into something far more nefarious.

The author absolutely nailed the turmoil of a damaged relationship and how one could be so desperate for validation that they would seek it from strangers. There is some really dark territory that's explored in this thriller, so be prepared. Nothing overly graphic or gratuitous, but it took me completely by surprise. The ending was quite satisfying, and I know that long-time fans and new readers alike are going to love this one. Many thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this early copy. Look for this one March 3, 2026.
