Then, suddenly, there he is: handsome, wonderful Logan Abbott. Despite their ten-year difference age, Bailey s working-class upbringing and his of privilege, they fall deeply in love. Marriage quickly follows. A PAST THAT WON T STAY BURIED. But when Logan brings her home to his family s stately horse farm in Louisiana, Bailey s dreams of happily-ever-after begin to unravel. A tragic family history she knew nothing about surfaces, plus there are whisperings about the disappearance of Logan s first wife and rumors about other women from the area who have gone missing. When yet another woman mysteriously vanishes, all signs point to Logan s involvement. Bailey wants to ignore the gossip but even she can t ignore the mounting evidence against her husband. Ultimately, it s up to Bailey to make a desperate choice: believe what everyone says or bet her life on the man she loves but who she still doesn t really know.
