Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling, near-bankrupt writer who receives the professional opportunity of a lifetime when she is hired by Jeremy Crawford to complete the remaining books of an acclaimed series written by his injured wife, Verity Crawford. Lowen moves into the creepy, isolated Crawford estate to sort through Verity's notes, where she uncovers an unpolished, horrifying handwritten autobiography containing unspeakable family admissions. As Lowen falls deeply for the grieving Jeremy, she uses the manuscript's dark secrets to manipulate the situation, culminating in a bone-chilling, psychological thriller chess match where the line between absolute truth and calculated deception is permanently erased.
