"Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year." - NetGalley Reviewer Laura Foster's not the type to go looking for trouble. But it seems to be looking for her. Laura's on the verge of living the life she's always wanted. At the age of twenty-seven, she put her career plans on hold, married handsome widower Peter Foster, settled down in his Silicon Valley home, and helped raise his two children. Twelve years later, it's her turn to shine. Her career is thriving, the kids are out of the house, Peter's company is on the verge of an FDA approval that could garner a windfall in stock gains for them, and she's training for the Ironman world championship in Kona. But when a series of freak accidents can no longer be chalked up to bad luck, it becomes clear that someone is out to get her. Is it someone from work, jealous of her promotion? Or is it perhaps someone more dangerous? Someone closer to home? Laura has no enemies that she knows of, but she senses that husband Peter is keeping something from her. And when she starts digging into the family's past, she ends up with more questions than answers. But with the walls closing in on her, she needs to find out why someone would want to harm her...and what really happened to his first wife. Before it's too late. "This book had a bit of everything!
