From the bestselling author of My Husband´s Wife, one man´s disappearance throws four women´s lives into chaos--who will survive?
Vicki works as an aromatherapist, healing her clients out of her home studio with her special blends of essential oils. She´s just finishing a session when the police arrive on her doorstep--her ex-husband David has gone missing. Vicki insists she last saw him years ago when they divorced, but the police clearly don´t believe her. And her memory´s hardly reliable--what if she did have something to do with it?
Meanwhile, Scarlet and her mother Zelda are down on their luck, and at eight years old, Scarlet´s not old enough to know that the "game" her mother forces her to play is really just a twisted name for dealing drugs. Soon, Zelda is caught, and Scarlet is forced into years of foster care--an experience that will shape the rest of her life . . .
David´s new wife, Tanya, is the one who reported him missing, but what really happened on the night of David´s disappearance? And how can Vicki prove her innocence, when she´s not even sure of it herself? The answer lies in the connection among these four women--and the one person they can´t escape.
