Belinda didn’t want to admit that she had settled for a hollow marriage to a disconnected husband, and a dead-end job under an ungrateful boss. But a chance encounter with a magnetic stranger named James at the local library awakens feelings she thought were long buried.

Captivated by James’ charisma and thirst for life, Belinda wonders if it’s too late to rekindle her own lost passions.

As their friendship deepens, she reluctantly confides her suspicions about her husband’s fidelity, and accepts James’ offer to investigate using his covert online skills.

But behind his charming facade, is James hiding a dangerous secret of his own?

What began as a bond over their shared love of stories, suddenly ensnares Belinda in a tangled web of lies, corruption, and conspiracy. With deceit surrounding her, she’s forced to question everything – and everyone – in her life.

As events spiral out of control, and with nowhere left to turn, she reluctantly joins forces with James in a desperate search for answers. However, time is running out and doubts still linger about James’ true motives.

Has she placed her trust in the right man? Or is there more to James than meets the eye?
