She has the perfect life, and a marriage that is a beautiful lie.

To the outside world, Thelma Drake has it all; a gorgeous home and a handsome, upstanding husband. But behind closed doors, Jeffrey is a stranger. He is emotionally distant, dismisses her need for affection as over-dramatic, and showers his attention on every woman but his own wife. While her best friend warns her that Jeffrey is hiding something sinister, Thelma clings to hope, desperately searching for love within the cold confines of her own vows.

Then comes a magnetic, wealthy friend who sees past her brave facade.

He is a man who swore he would never love again, guarded by the deep scars of his own past. Yet, he cannot look away from Thelma. He wants to save her, he wants to cherish her, but she belongs to another man. He can't touch her.

What starts as a safe harbor in a lonely storm, with her newfound friendship, quickly ignites into an undeniable, dangerous attraction. When the devastating truth about Jeffrey finally shatters her world, a web of betrayal and shocking secrets will force Thelma to choose between the heavy chains for loyalty and the terrifying freedom of liberation.

Nothing will ever be the same.
