Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of what really happened the day her daughter died.
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 to love her.
A standalone romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer, with financial difficulties who gets an offer of a lifetime for her. Jason Crawford, who's wife is an author, is looking for someone to finish his wife, Verity's books. Verity is a successful author who had been in a car accident and is bed ridden.
Jason lives in this huge house along with his son. Jason and Verity had had twin daughters who died in separate incidences. Jason is of course grief stricken at their loss.
Lowen accepts the job, not sure if she is up to the task but decides to try to finish the remaining books. She moves into their home and starts doing research to help her get an idea as to what she is writing. She stumbles across an autobiography of sorts and becomes immersed in the story of how Jason and Verity met, their lives together, the death of their daughters. There are some things in the diary that have Lowen horror stricken. To describe anymore would give away the story.
Verity just one of those stories you don't want to end. Plus you never see the ending coming. I love psychological thrillers and this is right up there with the best.
I had never read a Colleen Hoover book, I know this won't be the last.
