From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of In a Single Moment comes a gripping story of trust, family and the secrets we keep. When Harriet Carmichael leaves her husband, she is determined to begin again: new home, new life, a chance to live on her own terms. A life drawing class seems harmless enough, until she finds herself drawn to Mac, the charming but elusive model. Her adult children disapprove of her every move, and when Mac-significantly younger and apparently homeless-moves in with her, their suspicions reach fever pitch. Yet there is an undeniable spark between Harriet and Mac, one that makes Harriet question what she truly wants from this new chapter. While her family is convinced she's being manipulated by a conman, Harriet longs to believe in his genuine affection. But she has secrets of her own, shaped by experiences she has never dared to share. As buried memories rise to the surface-along with a friend she thought lost forever-Harriet must weigh her heart against her judgement. Is she finally ready to reveal who she really is, or is she making the biggest mistake of her life?
