They’re watching her every move—but the real danger still wears pearls.
After thirty days on a psychiatric hold she was maneuvered into, Skyler Morrison walks free into the wreckage of her life. Her marriage is gutted. Her nine-year-old is already learning the silence and secrets of survival. And her baby girl, Grace, wakes up every morning in the house of Eleanor Lawrence, the untouchable matriarch who has spent fifty years making problems disappear and who now holds the one thing she wants most.
To bring Grace home, Skyler must play the role of stable wife and devoted mother for a court that already sees her as dangerous. But Eleanor only needs time—and time is always on her side.
Then the FBI knocks: they’ve been watching her quiet suburban street for months. They want something Skyler has hidden since before Grace was taken. Surrender it, and she risks her children’s safety. Refuse, and she may lose Grace forever.
In a war between a mother with everything to lose and a woman who has never lost anything at all, someone will pay the final price.
