Description:
Abby looks forward to meeting the family who just moved in across the street--until she realizes they're the one couple who could expose her deepest secrets.
After a night of fun back in 1992, Abby is responsible for a car crash that kills her beloved brother. It's a mistake she can never forgive, so she pushes away Liam, the man she loves most, knowing that he would eventually hate her for what she's done, the same way she hates herself.
Twenty years later, Abby's husband, Nate, is also living with a deep sense of guilt. He was the driver who first came upon the scene of Abby's accident, the man who pulled her to safety before the car erupted in flames--the man who could not save her brother in time. It's this guilt, this regret, that binds them together. They understand each other. Or so Nate believes.
In a strange twist of fate, Liam moves in with his own family next door, releasing a flood of memories that Abby has been trying to keep buried all these years. Abby and Liam, in a complicit agreement, pretend never to have met, yet cannot resist the pull of the past--nor the repercussions of the terrible secrets they've both been carrying...
Brimming with emotional tension and unrelenting suspense, McKinnon's debut explores how the lies we tell to protect each other can become the very things that tear our lives apart.
