Tabitha is poor, working as a waitress. As a teenager she was in love with Connor Ford, a wealthy young man. He loved her but his grandmother put a stop to the romance advising him not to marry the help. Now she’s grownup, but when Connor walks into the grill where she works, the old magic is back, but Connor is now married to a much older, wealthy woman he doesn’t love.
Tabitha and Connor resume their romance, and he plans to divorce Nina, his wife. Then Nina apparently takes her own life. Connor and Tabitha quickly marry and the nightmare begins. Nina left a note before she died suggesting that her death would be foul play. Was Connor involved? Tabitha doesn’t know who to trust and her wonderful new life begins to feel like a trap.
This is a fast paced thriller with plenty of glitter. If you enjoy watching the rich this is a fun book. I thought the descriptions of Tabitha’s new life were well done. It was a nice contract to hew growing sense of anxiety.
The characters fit the story, but I can’t say they appealed to me. Tabitha seemed incredibly naive. Connor was harder to figure out, probably by design, since there was a question of whether he was guilty. The ending had a significant twist which resolved the stories’ issues. All the clues were there but the twist was still unexpected.
I received this book from St. Martin’s Press for this review.
