Description

Inspired by today's headlines, this riveting new novel by the Edgar Award-nominated author of The Girl Next Door tells the story of a young newlywed who survives a brutal attack and must confront the possibility that her husband tried to kill her.

Description

26-year-old Emma has it all--an inherited fortune, a job she loves, good friends, and a boyfriend who is crazy about her. Emma met sexy freelance journalist David at a dinner party. Romantic, free-spirited, and a perfect lover, David sweeps Emma off her feet. Now a baby is on the way. Emma expects David to say goodbye, but David enjoys surprises. At their beautiful, impromptu wedding, they promise to love and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. The only shadow over Emma's happiness is cast by her stepfather, who is furious that David failed to sign a prenuptial agreement. As the newlyweds set off for their honeymoon at an idyllic cabin in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, Emma has no idea that her life is about to turn into a wife's worst nightmare--but soon she must confront the possibility that her husband is trying to kill her.--From publisher description.
