Publisher's Synopsis
After a breakup with Kyle Yates and a subsequent miscarriage, Daundre (Dawn) Riley's life spirals out of control. Her boss believes Dawn is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and recommends she take time off. Dawn visits her Aunt Cleo, whose neighbor Tom Wallace is still mourning the accidental drowning of his wife, Holly. Tom's two teenage daughters miss their mother. But most affected is Kenny, his 10-year-old autistic son, who hasn't spoken since Holly's death. As Dawn and Tom unravel facts surrounding the accident, sinister secrets emerge from Holly's past, threatening Tom's family-and now Dawn. Kyle becomes obsessed with winning back Dawn, who seeks refuge with a new friend, Ajay Khan. When Kyle mysteriously disappears, Dawn's best friend implicates Ajay. As a relationship blossoms between Dawn and Ajay, she realizes she must address unresolved feelings for Tom. After her aunt's suspicious accident, a serious misunderstanding plunges Dawn into danger--with Ajay on the other side of the world.
