How far will you go to save someone you love and trust when theyโve kept a dangerous secret for years? Thatโs the question facing Lance Kingston, a successful Houston magazine executive whose recent marriage to beautiful, high-powered attorney Tia Jiles seemed to promise a bright future for both of them. But under the surface, a fierce and frightening storm was brewing. Thatโs because Tia never revealed to Lance what she and her family have known since Tia was seventeenโshe has an illness that takes over her mind, transforming her into a raging, violent woman hell-bent on destruction. Bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia. Or crazy, as Lanceโs grandmother continually reminds him. โCrazy leaves clues,โ she told him point-blank, and perhaps Lance should have listened. Tiaโs mother tries to pray the problem away . . . and Tiaโs doctors canโt help her if she wonโt do what they advise. Now thereโs more than their marriage and Tiaโs survival at stake: Tia is pregnant, and Lance will stop at nothing to keep his troubled wife and unborn daughter safe. But at what price?
