Blood is thicker than water. Unless you’re thirsty for something more.
After Todd’s multiple affairs nearly destroy their marriage, Marilyn and Todd are barely holding things together when her sixteen-year-old nephew, Alan, shows up on their doorstep, suitcase in hand. With nowhere else to go and a troubled past he won’t talk about, Marilyn lets him stay...temporarily. Distrustful of her husband’s promises to change, Marilyn makes a quiet deal with Alan: he can stay as long as he keeps a watchful eye on Todd and tells her if he sees him being unfaithful.
Alan steps into a world of luxury and privilege he’s never known. With Todd being a high-powered entertainment attorney who could open doors for him in Hollywood, Alan sees not just shelter, but a shot at the life he’s always wanted, superstardom. He’s grateful, eager to prove himself, and at first appears to be the perfect houseguest.
But beneath the surface of their fragile reconciliation, Alan begins to suspect Todd hasn’t changed. When he discovers Todd may be cheating again, he faces two impossible choices: tell Marilyn the truth and risk losing the luxurious life and career connections he’s only just begun to taste, or stay silent, betraying the only person who ever gave him a way out.
In a mansion full of secrets and lies, the truth comes with a deadly price.
For Fans of Freida Mcfadden, John Marrs and Kiersten Modglin.
