Rumors are part of small-town living, but Elanna has never been the subject. She could ignore the petty gossip…but not when it affects her children.
Rumors of her husband’s misdeeds seep into every aspect of Elanna’s life. She’s no longer welcome to serve on committees. People turn away when she enters a room. Despite her attempts to shield her children from negativity, they’re changing, too. Seth is rebelling, Hailey is clingier than ever, and Charlotte is risking her future.
When Elanna’s estranged sister shows up on the island with proof that Elanna’s husband did the things people are saying he did, Elanna wishes she could grab her kids and run far away from the privileged life they’ve led. But there’s no place far enough to escape the shocking secrets, so Elanna shoves aside her personal pain and dives into yet another rescue mission.
But this time, she promises to save herself, too.
