The Musician

They were the perfect couple—or so she thought.

Harper had it all: a husband who adored her, a beautiful daughter named Peyton, and a life filled with Sunday mornings at church and cozy family dinners. Dorian, her high school sweetheart, had turned his musical dreams into a thriving recording studio. Harper gave up her nursing career to raise their child and support him. Love was supposed to be enough.

But love turned into something unrecognizable.

Dorian changed—first slowly, then violently. The late nights, the distant eyes, the explosive temper. And when Harper discovers his infidelity, the lies are just the beginning. There’s something darker hiding behind Dorian’s music—something twisted.

A secret plan to erase her. And take everything.

Now Harper must outsmart the man she once loved before he becomes her killer. With her life—and Peyton’s—on the line, she crafts a deadly plan of her own. Because no one takes a mother’s child.

Not even the man who once promised forever.

Great Narration!

This book details our MC realizing she in an abusive relationship, and steps to take before she can leave. Top priority (after safety) RECORD AND SAVE EVERYTHING. Get that proof!

Jess Wright is brilliant and her narration makes the story.

Gripping from the start

A truly gripping story from page one. It’s packed with suspense and so many twists you never see coming. What really stands out, though, is the FMC’s triumph over the MMC as she eventually turns the tables on him—it’s incredibly satisfying to listen to. The narration by Jess Wright is excellent and adds even more tension to the story.

Thrilling and intense!!

Excellent!!! Love this intense and emotional domestic thriller! There are so many dark twists, turns and suspense throughout.

Harper married her high school sweetheart, Dorian, and they were happily in love… until they weren’t. They had a baby, and life started changing. Dorian was prioritizing his work and his music ahead of his wife. Harper had to become a tough woman to overcome the negativity her husband is bringing to the table. There are lots of lies, secrets and betrayals!

This is a truly gripping story and I was hooked from the beginning. The energy in the book was strong all the way through!
The story is very well written and I’m excited to keep reading more books from this author!

**I definitely recommend checking out the audio of this book!! Jess Wright did an amazing job with the narration!!**
