Cassidy Evans is the blueprint. As a criminal psychologist, Cassidy is a savant. She spent years solving groundbreaking cases by shifting through the minds and behaviors of those driven by the darkness that controls them. After years of dedicated field work, Cassidy decides to retire and share her expertise on killers’ mentalities as a novelist.
As a published author, she’s now happily married and spends most of her time traveling the world and sharing with others how to understand the twisted minds that drive destructive behaviors. Unfortunately, with all of the knowledge that Cassidy is armed with, she somehow overlooks the lies of the person closest to her. When she tags along to a crime scene with an old colleague, Cassidy is shocked to discover that the victim is her husband. If that’s not enough to send her world spiraling, she also finds out that the identity of the murdered victim doesn’t match the name on their marriage license!
Things quickly escalate when Cassidy becomes the main suspect. Not knowing the man she is married to is the least of her problems. Everyone believes she is a murderer, and none more than the lead detective on the case--Nathanial Davis. He is determined to find the truth while proving that Cassidy isn’t who she claims to be. In doing so, he decides to keep Cassidy close while digging through her past to uncover her untold truths.
While she’s hiding secrets that could destroy the world she spent years building, Cassidy learns that things are never what they seem. With such an intricate familiarity of seeing through lies, how is it that Cassidy is happily married to a man she loves and adores but doesn’t truly know? Suddenly, losing her career and reputation is far less important than maintaining her freedom. In the end . . . she may lose both.
