The Second Wife - Paperback

Love brought them together. Guilt made them stay.

Ashley Hart has spent ten years paying for one terrible mistake.

Now she's free and starting over in the small Texas town of Dayton, where no one knows who she used to be-or what she did. She wants a job, a quiet life, and the chance to leave the past exactly where it belongs.

Then she meets Cody Harlow.

Charming, successful, and still haunted by the death of his first wife, Cody makes Ashley believe that maybe second chances really do exist. Their attraction is immediate. Their relationship moves fast. And before long, Ashley has everything she thought she'd lost forever-a home, a husband, and a future.

But in a small town, the past is never as buried as you think.

There are whispers about Cody's first wife. Rumors about their marriage. Questions no one seems willing to answer. And the more Ashley learns about the woman who came before her, the more she begins to wonder whether meeting Cody was really the fresh start she believed it was.

Because Cody has secrets.

So does Ashley.

And some secrets have a way of finding each other.

The Second Wife is a gripping, twist-filled domestic psychological thriller about marriage, obsession, buried guilt, and the terrifying realization that you may not know the person sleeping beside you at all.
