When Lowen Ashleigh accepts the job opportunity of a lifetime, she is a struggling author who is about to go bankrupt. Lowen has been hired by bestselling novelist Verity Crawford's husband, Jeremy Crawford, to finish the novels in a popular series that his injured wife is unable to finish. In an effort to locate enough information to get her started, Lowen comes at the Crawford residence prepared to go through years' worth of Verity's notes and outlines. Verity's incomplete autobiography, which she never intended for anybody to read, is what Lowen does not anticipate finding in the disorganised office. Page after page of horrifying confessions, including Verity's account of the night their family's circumstances were irrevocably changed. Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already-grieving father. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife's words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue loving her . . .
