Betrayal was just the beginning...
Melanie Hale is a devoted mother to her two children, a diligent caregiver to her ailing mother-in-law and a trusted neighbor in their wealthy Louisiana community. Above all, she's a loving partner to her wonderful husband, Collin.
Then there are the parts of herself that Mel keeps hidden. She's exhausted, worried and unfulfilled. So much so that one night, after a writers' group meeting, Mel begins an affair with a successful local author named Luke. Suddenly she's transformed into a role she doesn't recognize—a woman who deceives with unseemly ease. A woman who might be capable of just about anything.
When Mel finds Luke's dead body in his lavish rented house, she realizes just how high the stakes have become. Not only does she have to keep her affair a secret in order to preserve her marriage, but she desperately needs to avoid being implicated in Luke's death. But who would want to kill him? Who else in her life is keeping secrets? And most terrifying of all, how far will they—and she—go to keep those secrets hidden?
Looking for another heart-pounding thriller? In bestselling author Seraphina Nova Glass's upcoming thriller, NOTHING EVER HAPPENS HERE, new threats and hidden secrets in a small town spark a desperate race against time...

        Melanie Hale, the narrator of this uplifting but never saccharine psychological thriller from Glass (Someone’s Listening), has a young son on the autism spectrum and is the primary caregiver for her husband’s aging mother, who has dementia. Melanie feels isolated in her upscale Louisiana community and understandably exhausted by her daily routines. When her husband suggests she join a writers’ group at the local bookstore, she jumps at the chance. At the store, she meets bestselling author Luke Ellison, and their mild flirtation soon develops into an affair. Feeling guilty about lying to her faithful, forgiving husband, Melanie goes to Luke’s mansion to break things off, only to find him dead. She flees the scene, but her presence is not unnoticed. Her little white lies blossom into darker, more dangerous territory when she’s subsequently blackmailed and becomes a murder suspect. To what lengths will she go to protect her family and herself? The pleasure of this book comes from seeing Melanie morph from mildly depressed suburban housewife into a woman who’s unafraid of fighting fire with fire. Glass remains a writer to watch. Agent: Sharon Bowers, Folio Literary Management.

        Glass' second thriller, following Someone's Listening (2020), takes a while to launch from rom-com territory to suspense, but once it does, it becomes a real nail-biter. Her heroine, Melanie, has all the trademarks of a rom- com heroine: She faces a number of challenges on the home front, including a son on the spectrum, an obnoxious teen daughter, and an ailing, live-in mother-in-law. She even has rom-com hallmark of believing that she looks a mess even when men are falling all over her. The plot takes a turn when she meets a wildly successful romance writer, and starts an affair with him. When she discovers his body, she is plunged into increasingly frantic attempts to erase any evidence of him from her life. Melanie narrates her story; her takes on living in a wealthy, constricting community outside New Orleans are priceless (for example, a meeting of the local book club is lavishly catered). Slow to start, but then it really takes off.
