    About this audiobook

    An upstanding political candidate. A determined stalker. A shattering lost weekend. Now, when his worst secret comes calling, how far will one man’s elegant, all-too-devoted wife go to uncover the truth … or bury it?

    For Jolene “Jo” Baker, the least she can do for her adoring husband, Dominic, is give unwavering support for his North Carolina gubernatorial run. He is not only the love of her life, he’s also helping her prove that she’s far more than just a pampered trophy wife. With huge crowds showing up at Dominic’s speeches and the polls consistently in his favor, she’s never been happier to stand proudly by his side …

    Until she and Dominic start seeing the same, strangely ominous woman turning up all along the campaign trail. Until their tour starts becoming a nightmare of botched events, crucial missed information, and increasingly dangerous “accidents.” Suddenly Jo can’t get any answers from Dominic—or understand why he is acting so paranoid and terrified …

    What Jo can do is start digging into his past—one she’s never really questioned beyond his perfect image and dazzling accomplishments. What results is an alarming series of events that leaves her baffled: Good friends turn into enemies, truths are revealed to be lies, and all clues lead back to one secret, shattering weekend that changes Jo’s entire life. With her world splintering into pieces, can Jo risk trying to set things right? Or will hiding the bitter truth by any means necessary destroy her as well?

      This was extremely emotional. Listeners should definitely know their limits and their triggers. There were times I wanted to throat punch a few of the characters but wow!! The author does a wonderful job of alerting readers of topics discussed before the book begins.

      Dominic and Jolene are the governor and state's first lady. Dominic and Jolene met in college, and they both have accomplished so much. They come from completely different backgrounds. Dominic's mother had a mental illness, and their financial situation was dire. Jolene's family is very rich, but she grew up in a cold home with a stern father and mother who didn't know the definition of monogamy.

      Now, while running for a second term as governor, Dominic begins receiving mysterious letters pertaining to a secret that could destroy him. He must find out who is sending the notes before they reach Jolene and destroy his political career. Jolene has noticed a difference in Dominic's behavior and wants to find out what he is hiding. This novel is FILLED with secrets. The storyline jumps back and forth from present to the past when the awful incident took place. It is told from different POVs but is very easy to follow. There were some tough moments to read since the plot includes SA, suicide, and domestic abuse. Overall, this book was a very engaging thriller with different twists.
