Vérité

Life had always smiled upon Verity Crawford. Her books made her a star author, her Vermont home was splendid, and she and her husband, Jeremy, formed a perfect couple. But one day, on a road, her dream turned into a nightmare. The accident prevents her from writing, transforms her overly large house into a prison, and threatens to separate her from Jeremy. Life had never been kind to Lowen Ashleigh. Her books only receive a polite reception, her finances are at their lowest, and her love stories are fleeting. Until Jeremy recruits her to become Verity's ghostwriter and finish her successful series in her place. For Lowen, as incongruous as the proposal may be, the opportunity is too good to pass up, and Jeremy too seductive for her to say no. But upon discovering, among Verity's papers, what appears to be her autobiography, Lowen will see, page after page, the portrait of a dreadful woman, ready for the most atrocious crimes not to lose what she has, and quick to all perversities when she feels threatened. And in Verity's eyes, Lowen is now a threat.
