Det är dags att ta ut min hämnd. För mig själv … och för mitt barn.

Hon litade på honom. Nu får hon betala priset... Jag älskade min man, doktor Drew Devlin, men han förrådde mig. Nu är han död. När jag sätter nyckeln i låset och öppnar dörren till det lyxiga nya hemmet jag har köpt med Drews livförsäkringspengar, är jag säker på att det värsta ligger bakom mig. Min hemlighet är säker och nu vill jag bara njuta av min nya rikedom och frihet. Sedan träffar jag Roger. Jag var inte ute efter ett nytt förhållande, men när vi tillbringar våra kvällar med att dricka vin på min soliga terrass, inser jag att han är precis vad jag behöver just nu.

Han tror att hans hemlighet är säker. Men hon vet sanningen... Min man är läkare. Han är smart och charmig, och alla litar på honom. Alla utom jag.

Drew Devlin är inte den ansevärda person han utger sig för. Anledningen till att vi flyttade till det här vackra, gamla huset med utsikt över havet, var att vi behövde en nystart, lämna vårt förflutna bakom oss.
