Ivy Calloway spent five years in prison for killing a man who was beating his wife half to death. She doesn't regret it. But no one hires an ex-convict, so when a maid staffing agency offers her a live-in position in the coldest, most beautiful house she's ever seen, she takes it without asking questions. She should have asked questions. Her new employer is Damian Cross... a billionaire with a charming public face and a private one that makes Ivy's skin crawl. His wife, Selene, is soft-spoken, elegant, and always just a little too interested in Ivy's past. Ivy tells herself it's kindness. It isn't. Selene has been counting on a woman exactly like Ivy walking through her door... someone who's already proven she'll kill a man who hurts a woman. Then Julian Cross arrives. Damian's estranged brother, sharp-eyed and impossible to read, asking questions about the Cross family that no one wants answered. Ivy doesn't know if he's there to save her or use her too. All she knows is that every time he looks at her, she forgets to be careful. As the walls of the Cross mansion close in... a locked wing, a six-year-old girl who flinches at loud voices, a wife with a plan Ivy never agreed to... Ivy has to decide who's telling the truth before someone else's blood ends up on her hands. This time, she might not walk away.
