MARNI

I didn’t come here to be brave.

I came to disappear.

After New York, after the firm, after everything that broke me, Westbrook felt safe. Predictable. A place where the rules were clear, and someone else made the decisions.

Elke chose me. That meant everything.

I learned how this town really works – the rankings, the favors, the silence. I learned when to smile, when to look away, and which questions never get asked.

Now I’m pregnant.

Now I know what happened to the women who stepped out of line.

And now I understand the truth Elke never says out loud:

Westbrook isn’t about tradition. It’s about control.

ELKE

I built Westbrook from nothing.

A town of order. Tradition. Women who want to be told who they are.

They see cherry orchards, homemakers’ fairs, and smiling wives. I see loyalty, hierarchy, and power that works because it looks beautiful.

The Cherries follow my rules. They check in when I tell them to. They show up when I summon them. They don’t ask questions.

And when someone threatens what I’ve built, I don’t hesitate.

Perfection only survives if you protect it.

AN INTOXICATING BLEND OF TENSION AND SUSPENSE WITH AN ENDING YOU WON’T SEE COMING.

This razor-sharp thriller of friendship, obsession and deadly lies is perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, Kiersten Modglin, Liane Child, Jo Piazza, and The Handmaid’s Tale.
