A suburban wife and mother’s devastating secret spirals into a fight for survival against a stalker in a twisting novel of psychological suspense about power, privilege, and lies.

After twenty-plus years of marriage and with their daughter off to college, Magnolia Mercer-Voss and her husband, Cam, are in the empty-nest phase of their lives. Magnolia is a marketing coordinator for an esteemed California winery. Cam is building his own start-up. They’re convinced that only the best is yet to come.

Then Magnolia makes a catastrophic mistake she can’t take back—with a man more dangerous than she can imagine.

Dominic Redfield is a wealthy and unnervingly charming investor who is quickly gaining control of the winery. He’s also inserting himself into every aspect of Magnolia’s life, taking sick pleasure in workplace harassment, intimidation, and devious manipulation. And Magnolia can’t tell a soul—as Dominic reminds her: I know your secrets.

A nightmare of psychological warfare has begun. For Magnolia, it’s about more than keeping her secrets hidden.

It’s about surviving them.
