My Husband’s Secret

For three years, Ivy has believed her marriage to Law Callahan is a quiet happiness. He hands over his paycheck, keeps house, and defends her against his mother Maxine's sharp remarks about grandchildren. Yet Law has not touched her since the first months of their marriage, and he would rather send her through IVF than see a doctor. Then the nights turn strange: an old man crawls onto her bed, and she wakes paralyzed, her lace nightgown slipping from her shoulders. Law claims it is only a nightmare and brings her warm milk.

Still, the dreams return, and each morning she is sore and exhausted. When she finally forces her eyes open, she sees a balding head and greedy, murky eyes. Law orchestrated it all, even if it meant sending her into another man's bed. Ivy has no family to fall back on, only her best friend Sloane Wilder, who arranged an interview at Wilder & Kane Design Co. On the way down, a pale hand stops the elevator doors, and her blood runs cold.
