Who can a woman trust?

Doctor Simone Bennet thought she had left the recent dramas of her life behind.
She returns to her psychiatric office, teaches at the university, and shares a bed with the charismatic New York lawyer she married; with him, she dares to explore new sensual experiences and rediscover pleasure without boundaries—life almost feels like a second chance.

 

Then she undertakes a series of visits to MacDougall Prison in search of insight into the minds of Peter Hay, the psychopath who kidnapped her and her daughter and murdered many of her patients, and his accomplice—her ex-boyfriend and partner, Doctor Edward Reynolds. Outside the prison walls, Simone delves into their past. Each new clue exposes darker truths and links their lives to unexpected corners of her present.

 

Simone treats her patients and confronts dangerous questions about dark desire, boundaries, and lies, while she searches for her true path in life; yet one doubt never leaves her:

In a world built on secrets, who can a woman trust?
