A HORRIFIC RECURRING NIGHTMARE IS THREATENING TO STEAL HER SANITY...
Dr. Corinne Cabot is living the American dream. She's a successful ER physician in Chicago who's married to a handsome husband. Together they live in a charming house in the suburbs. But appearances can be deceiving—and what no one can see is Corinne's dark past. Troubling gaps in her memory mean she recalls little about a haunting event in her life years ago that changed everything.
She remembers only being in the house the night two people were found murdered. Her father was there, too. Now her father is in prison; she hasn't been in contact in years. Repressing that terrifying memory has caused Corinne moments of paranoia and panic. Sometimes she thinks she sees things that aren't there, hears words that haven't been spoken. Or have they? She fears she may be losing her mind, unable to determine what's real and what's not.
So when she senses her husband's growing distance, she thinks she's imagining things. She writes her suspicions off to fatigue, overwork, anything to explain what she can't accept—that her life really isn't what it seems.

      Corinne Cabot, the 35-year-old heroine of this uneven suspense novel from Tate (the nom de plume of romance author Courtney Cole), is an ER physician at a Chicago hospital. Her grueling job and troubled past have strained her marriage to therapist Jude Cabot. As an 18-year-old babysitter on Halloween, Corinne witnessed a double murder, for which her father was convicted, but she has blocked the memory. While she struggles through another October, immersing herself in work to avoid seasonal triggers, Jude becomes intrigued with Zoe, a provocative server at his favorite café, who fascinates and torments him—and ultimately threatens everything he holds dear, including his wife’s precarious sanity. Written in breathless style, this page-turner relies on quick thrills, surprise twists, and an implausible reveal. Readers seeking a fast, entertaining tale might be satisfied, but others will be troubled by clichéd depictions of mental illness and sexual abuse, as well as the lack of character development. Agent: Kevan Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.
