Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and Bright Young Women comes the highly anticipated, heart-pounding thriller with twists you'll never see coming…

Faye Heron has it all: beauty, a glittering Hollywood career and a powerhouse marriage to her producer husband. Her life is the kind most people can only dream of.

When a beloved former college professor suddenly passes away, Faye is drawn back to campus, and back to Henry Spalding, the man she’s spent twelve years trying to forget.

Henry was her first love, her most intense love. Their love was the kind that consumed… and that Faye chose to walk away from. But she never forgot. Now, Henry is married man. A father. Their reunion should be nothing more than a polite nod to the past. Instead, it awakens something dangerous.

Henry is full of apologies for how they ended. But as Faye is pulled deeper into his orbit, she begins to wonder if she’s walking into something that she won’t be able to escape from this time.

What starts as an innocent chance to reconnect unravels into a sinister game of obsession and control, one that forces Faye to confront the truth about their past and uncover a sprawling, years-old mystery.

Because Henry isn’t just one of a kind. He’s the kind who doesn’t let go.
