A Deadly Encounter Sets the Stage
Blood spatters across Lowen Ashleigh's white shirt as she witnesses a stranger's gruesome death on a Manhattan street corner. In this moment of chaos, a handsome stranger named Jeremy Crawford offers his assistance, creating an unexpected intimacy between them. Their chance encounter evolves into something more significant when Lowen discovers Jeremy's true identity at her publishing meeting-he's married to Verity Crawford, a literary sensation now incapacitated after a catastrophic accident. Desperate to maintain momentum on Verity's bestselling thriller series, the publisher proposes that struggling author Lowen complete the remaining novels. Jeremy makes an offer impossible to refuse: $500,000 for all three books. He suggests she stay at their sprawling Vermont estate to access Verity's notes and research materials. The timing coincides with Lowen's personal crisis-depleted savings, imminent eviction, and mounting medical bills from her mother's terminal illness. As she drives toward the Crawfords' Vermont home, Lowen can't shake an overwhelming sense of foreboding. Jeremy's revelation about the family's tragic history-losing twin daughters Chastin and Harper within months of each other, followed by Verity's accident-seems almost too tragic to be coincidental. What begins as a professional opportunity starts to feel like stepping into a carefully laid trap.
