A Happy Marriage

What holds a strong and loving marriage together? Lies and secrets in a novel of twisting psychological suspense by a New York Times bestselling author.

Los Angeles homicide detective Dinah Marino may have a complicated relationship with her family, but her psychiatrist husband, Joe, makes her feel safe, secure, and happy. She couldn't want for a more loving or trusting man. But throughout their ten-year marriage, she's been keeping a secret from him--a secret she'd take to the grave.

Dr. Joe Marino loves his wife more than anything in this world, but there are things he's learned to keep close to the chest--including a few dead bodies. When a missing woman tied to his wife's latest case is admitted to his hospital, doctor-patient confidentiality lands their marriage on some new and uneven ground.

As Dinah digs deeper into her case, tension works its way inside their picture-perfect home. Now the carefully constructed lies between them don't just simply threaten the delicate balance of their marriage--they could kill.
