Lowen Ashleigh is hired by Jeremy Crawford to ghostwrite the remaining novels in his wife Verity's successful series after an accident leaves her unable to continue. She moves into the Crawfords' home to work, where she discovers Verity's private notes that reveal troubling secrets. As Lowen digs deeper, she must figure out what is real and what is fiction, all while her connection with Jeremy grows more complicated.
