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.

O amor é capaz de superar a pior das verdades?

Verity Crawford é a autora best-seller por trás de uma série de sucesso. Ela está no auge de sua carreira, aclamada pela crítica e pelo público, no entanto, um súbito e terrível acidente acaba interrompendo suas atividades, deixando-a sem condições de concluir a história... E é nessa complexa circunstância que surge Lowen Ashleigh, uma escritora à beira da falência convidada a escrever, sob um pseudônimo, os três livros restantes da já consolidada série.

Para que consiga entender melhor o processo criativo de Verity com relação aos livros publicados e, ainda, tentar descobrir seus possíveis planos para os próximos, Lowen decide passar alguns dias na casa dos Crawford, imersa no caótico escritório de Verity – e, lá, encontra uma espécie de autobiografia onde a escritora narra os fatos acontecidos desde o dia em que conhece Jeremy, seu marido, até os instantes imediatamente anteriores a seu acidente – incluindo sua perspectiva sobre as tragédias ocorridas às filhas do casal.

Quanto mais o tempo passa, mais Lowen se percebe envolvida em uma confusa rede de mentiras e segredos, e, lentamente, adquire sua própria posição no jogo psicológico que rodeia aquela casa. Emocional e fisicamente atraída por Jeremy, ela precisa decidir: expor uma versão que nem ele conhece sobre a própria esposa ou manter o sigilo dos escritos de Verity?
