We have all read the typical woman-scorned book. I was thankful for the advanced readers copy after catching a glimpse on Bookishfirst.
The authors, yes there are two, write a tale of multiple wives of the same controlling man. Richard has some secrets that do not unfold until the final chapters. His past is finally revealed through his sister, who also raises some questions from the reader.
Vanessa plots a way to flee her abusive husband and knows the only to escape him is to make it his idea. She discovers the perfect replacement, his assistant, Emma. Vanessa is able to provide opportunities for the relationship to develop and is soon the ex-wife.
But as her identity and confidence builds after being away from Richard, Vanessa feels guilty and attempts to enlighten Emma about Richard on the eve of the wedding.
The question is whether Emma will listen to the warnings or go through with the wedding.
Great interweaving of plots, friendships and marriage. Enjoy!
