A chilling past.

A dark kept secret.

An obsession verging on insanity...

As a psychiatrist, Abbey Paulson knows what kind of ghosts can dwell inside a person. Her days are spent diving deep into the minds of her broken, deranged patients, and sometimes, it's enough to consume her. She finds comfort coming home each night to her dependable husband, Simon, and the simple life they share.

When the smart and sultry Mara Taylor moves in across the street, Abbey recognizes her immediately. She's the girl Abbey went to high school with, the girl who initiated a scandalous relationship with a teacher twice her age. Surely Mara's changed. She's grown up. Right?

Mara gets what she wants. Whether it be an impeccable new home in the Chicago suburbs, a lust-worthy designer wardrobe, or...someone else's husband. It isn't long before Mara sets her sights on the man of the house across the street. Simon Paulson is everything she needs, and as he and Mara grow closer, a smoldering obsession ignites into an affair with life-shattering consequences.

Mara promises herself this betrayal will be her last.

Simon is so far in over his head he can't think straight.

And, before she even knows what hits her, Abbey is faced with the task of covering up a murder. She's forced to ask herself how far she's willing to go to salvage her shattered marriage, and more importantly, who can she trust?
