Bookseller recommendation

“I am not always a big fan of domestic thrillers because they usually depict a weak woman being taken advantage of. I felt from the beginning that Matthew was ‘too good to be true.' But Emma was truly in love and she was rich, so what if he was a gold digger? I really liked Emma so I kept listening because I was sure she could take care of herself if the time ever arrived, and I was curious to see what she would do if Matthew turned out to be a jerk. Turns out Emma could definitely take care of herself, and she wasn’t the only one surprised by what was happening. Revenge can definitely be sweet!”

When Emma meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems to be just what she needs.

Yet as their relationship moves fast, Emma’s friends worry she might be exploited. She’s a rich woman after all.

Emma doesn’t care Matthew has no money. But as the memory of his perfect first wife hangs over them, Emma does have one tiny doubt.

If Matthew’s wife hadn’t died, he wouldn’t be with her. And Emma wonders if she’s second best. Can she ever fill the dead woman’s shoes?

As jealousy and suspicion blossom between Emma and Matthew, events take a darker, dangerous turn.

Suddenly Emma doesn’t know who she can trust. Her friends? Her husband? Or even herself…?
