Shelby Foxworth thought she knew her husband until he died and left her drowning in debt. The man who brought her from Tennessee to Philadelphia's wealthy suburbs had been cheating on her and lying about everything else. When Shelby finds his safe deposit box filled with fake IDs, she realizes the truth. Her husband never existed at all. She packs up her three year old daughter and flees back to Tennessee, seeking refuge in her small hometown. There she meets Griff Lott, a contractor who offers her a chance at genuine love. But her husband's deceptions run deeper than stolen identities. His secrets follow Shelby home, putting both her and Griff in mortal danger. Someone tries to kill them, and Shelby knows this is only the start of the violence heading their way.
