'She's a liar. She's a stalker. She's in your house.

'When Claire sees Hannah Wilson at an exclusive Manhattan hair salon, it's like a knife slicing through barely healed scars. It may have been ten years since Claire last saw Hannah, but she has thought of her every day, and not in a good way. So Claire does what anyone would do in her position—she stalks her.

'Hannah is now Mrs. Carter, living the charmed life that should have been Claire's. It's the life Claire used to have, before Hannah came along and took it all away from her.

'Back then, Claire was a happy teenager with porcelain skin and long, wavy blond hair. Now she's an overweight, lazy drunk with hair the color of compost and skin to match. Which is why when Hannah advertises for a housekeeper, Claire is confident she can apply and not be recognized. And since she has time on her hands, revenge on her mind, and a talent for acting…

'Because what better way to seek retribution—and redress—than from within the beautiful Mrs. Hannah Carter's own home?

'Except that it's not just Claire who has secrets. Everyone in that house seems to have something to hide.

'And now, there's no way out.'

'If only she’d said no….

'Katherine knew she’d had too many drinks, but they were only going a short distance. And as Eve pointed out, it was late, there was no traffic anyway…

'Now, Katherine would give anything to turn back the clock. If anyone ever found out about the accident, it would ruin her life. But no one needs to know because Eve was there too, and she’s going to help make it all go away.

'Except something’s not quite right with Eve, and by the time Katherine realizes that…

'It’s too late.'

'She thought they had the perfect marriage...

'Tamra never dreamed she would marry someone like Mike Mitchell: handsome, rich, a wonderful husband... until she finds out that Mike is having an affair.

'But Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Mike Mitchell should have remembered that before he made a fool of her. Because Tamra knows something about Mike. Something he did. Something evil. And she was prepared to carry the secret to her grave.

'Not anymore.

'To make matters worse, Mike’s daughter Madison has come to stay for a few days, and Madison doesn’t like Tamra. Well, that's too bad, because Tamra doesn’t have time to argue. She’s too busy ruining Mike’s life while remaining - on the surface, at least - the perfect, loyal wife.

'But when Tamra's plan spirals out of control, she finds that things are not what they seem.
'And now, it's too late.'

'Everyone has secrets… and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. So far, she’s been very successful.

'But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance twelve years ago of young Molly Forster.

'Some secrets should never see the light of day, and as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them. Rachel has a life now, a boyfriend she loves and a three-year-old daughter she adores, and she will do anything to protect them.

'But to do that, no one can ever know that she is Molly Forster.'
