Caroline Stark's beachfront world begins to fracture after a public confrontation reveals lies, disappearing money and an unfamiliar man watching from the shore. The carefully managed family image she relied on starts to fall apart as hidden tensions surface.

Seeking comfort, Caroline becomes entangled with Aidan — a brief fling that deepens into an unhealthy fixation. Loyalties shift, motives blur, and the story moves toward a tense, twist-filled confrontation where it’s unclear who is manipulating whom or what secrets will come to light.

Set against a coastal backdrop, this psychological domestic thriller explores trust, control and the dangers of deception. Readers who enjoy layered characters and suspenseful reversals will appreciate the book’s steady escalation and surprising turns.
