Publisher’s Summary
A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway, but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.
Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career—and herself.
Then he shows up.
Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.
Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality. Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.
When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously, Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The reputation the world wrote for her—the reputation only she can reclaim.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “I love Colleen Hoover- Didn’t disappoint “
I am a huge fan of her work- Top 3 authors for sure- I think this book is definitely different than her usual but still amazing! I pray she doesn’t wait another 3 years to write another one:)— Mika Gibson, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Really good! “
This was a really good book! Listened in a day and half! Twists! Then I’d think I knew the twist… and was wrong! Kept me smiling and kept me listening
Ing!! 5 star!— Renee martin, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Miss it already “
Well, it’s my fault I binged it too quickly. This book is so good. It’s Colleen through and through, but darker. Every little twist had me clapping with excitement. I was trying to piece it together on my own. There were parts I nailed the guess, and parts that shocked me. The characters are well-developed, I know I shouldn’t like Saint, but I do! He’s so clever. I really enjoyed the realistic emotions and reactions to the events. It makes it feel like you’re listening to a friend express her feelings on the unfolding situations. Anyway, I obviously loved it. I’m going to listen again right now.— Jenny Scott, Audible listener
