Description
In the hushed countryside town of Havenridge, where appearances are holy and secrets fester beneath lace curtains, two sisters trade places for what should have been a harmless week. Marissa Whitmore-once the brilliant daughter who fled to New York and was disowned for it-returns home under her twin's name, only to find herself tangled in the life her sister painted as cruel and loveless. But the husband she was warned to fear is nothing like the tyrant described. In his quiet strength, Benjamin Monroe begins to see the girl he fell in love with years ago-never realizing it was Marissa all along. Meanwhile, Clarissa Whitmore-the dutiful daughter turned restless wife-chases danger and desire with an old flame, only to spiral into a world she cannot escape. As lies tighten and hidden truths surface, Marissa must navigate the razor edge between loyalty and longing, family and freedom. Because in Havenridge, sins never stay buried-and love has a way of striking twice.
