She married the man of her dreams, only to become his worst nightmare.
Jodie always dreamed of being the perfect housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr. Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house still reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns that Deborah became a recluse before her death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears―obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Jodie knows she should go to the police but she has her own secrets, such as three dead bodies and a prison sentence she still claims was a misunderstanding.
But Jodie doesn’t care how long it takes. She’s going to clean every inch of that house until she finds proof that Dr. Davies killed his first wife.
And then, she’ll make him pay.
