"Our marriage started out as a scandal. He was my professor, and I was his student. But every scandal eventually fades. I just didn't know our love would, too.
We had it all—a lake house, two kids, and twenty years of marriage. Except, our marriage was no longer exciting. We scheduled intimacy, ate meals in silence, and became strangers.
Our kids went off to college, and we were now empty-nesters, trying to reconnect. But my husband, a psychology professor and thriller novelist, had other plans. Perhaps writing a fictional novel had him living in a false reality? Perhaps he was having a mid-life crisis?
He didn't want to reconnect with me; he just wanted to replace me. Worst of all, the girl he was having an affair with was our son's girlfriend.
Betraying me was one thing, but betraying our son…? I had to make him pay.
So, I hired my son's girlfriend to lure my husband and to stay away from my son. But soon after, bodies began to turn up, the truth started to blur, and lies began to grow.
My husband swore I was overreacting and nothing is as it seems, but I don't believe him."
"What happens when our dreams and reality begin to blur together?
Serena Indigo has the perfect life. A handsome husband, a beautiful daughter, a gated home, and a rewarding career as a physician, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. She's helped hundreds of people complete their families, which means all that more to her considering the lengths she went through for her own child. She even has a private practice with her best friend, Parker Sully, who is easy on the eyes and kinder on the soul. Sure, she sets herself to extremely high standards and is obsessed with perfection—which triggers a darkness of her own—but she's managed to keep it under control.
She's always in control.
When suspicious things start to unravel, Serena begins to lose control over the perfection she thrives on. Her husband breaks the vows he promised her, her neighbors aren't the sweet family next door and her perfect life seems more like the perfect lie. Her world crumbles in front of her eyes as she tries to piece it all together, but what happens when we look into our reflection and the pain of our past haunts our present?
After all, you can't piece together a broken mirror and expect to see the same reflection…"

Will she be able to handle what's coming for the next Mrs. Wimberly, for better or for worse?"
"She left our home in a wedding dress and returned in an urn.
My parents were burdened with two baby girls. Yes, burdened. A son would have been a blessing, but a daughter was only an expense. They didn't have a legacy to carry on their name—they'd have to pay a dowry and fund an elaborate wedding.

This is a paranormal thriller with deranged spirits and a haunted house."
