Offered a dream job in Hollywood with a famous director and his actress wife, an insecure woman becomes their personal assistant where their secrets and lies place her in the crosshairs of a murder investigation…from the bestselling author of The Hunting Wives.

Cassidy Foster is heartbroken, stuck in life, and getting a little too obsessed with plants. Then when a well-connected friend becomes sick of Cassidy’s moping and gets her a gig with famous Hollywood couple, Marisol and Nate Sterling, Cassidy jumps at the chance to move to sunny LA.

The Sterlings are warm and welcoming. A perfect couple. All Cassidy has to do is be available a few hours a week for errands. In return, she has access to luxury: Designer clothes. A sparkling pool. Great pay.

When Nate takes interest in her, asking her to read scripts he’s written, Cassidy thinks this could be the key to kickstarting her writing dreams. As their business relationship grows, so does their attraction. Nate is sexy and talented, and Cassidy can’t believe her luck. Clearly, Marisol doesn’t know what she has. Maybe that’s why the two are always fighting when they think Cassidy isn’t around.

But Cassidy learns she was hired for a different purpose. The Sterlings aren’t the perfect couple. Marisol isn’t the perfect wife. And when one of them is found dead, Cassidy becomes the perfect suspect.

LOVED 😍 IT. May Cobb does it again!

Pulled me in early and kept me riveted by the story. Her other books are also MUST READS.

Kept me entertained

The overall story was good. I listened to the book in one day. I found the main character annoying and thought the ending was okay. But I did enjoy the book.

Wait… What?!!! THAT ENDING - outstanding!

A bit slow to start … thought I had it figured out, but then that ending. Oh my goodness, that ending … worth the listen for the reveal alone.

The storyline

I loved all of it. The performance, the story, the whole thing. This is my first time using Audible and I loved the entire experience.

Terrible main character and narrator.

The dialogue was hard to listen to during most of the book. Everything was so cheesy.
