The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Collateral âis at her best in this outstanding novel written in gorgeous proseâŠa sex-filled masterpiece of mystery and romanceâ (Library Journal) about a woman caught in a love affair that could be her salvationâor her undoing.
Once a widow, twice divorced, Tara is a woman with a past she prefers to keep hidden. Sheâs gorgeous, affluent, and content living alone in her flawless San Francisco mansion.
That is, until she meets Cavin Lattimoreâthe charming surgeon who sweeps her off her feet following a ski accident in Lake Tahoe. But as her recovery progresses and her love life flourishes, Tara notices some suspicious incidentsâan unusual van parked outside her home, a break-in, threatening text messages, and distressing emails. She canât help but notice the cracks in Cavinâs âperfectâ persona, including the suppressed rage his conniving teenage son elicits.
Housebound and on crutches, Tara depends on Cavinâperhaps to a dangerous degreeâas she juggles difficult relationships with her envious sister and best friend, her irritable brother-in-law, and her estranged mother. However perfect Taraâs life may have appeared before, new events are starting to expose what lies beneath.
Writing for the first time in prose, Ellen Hopkins unveils a brand new form thatâs fresh, smoldering and emblematic of her celebrated poetic voice. Injected with a signature dose of suspense, sex, and drama, Love Lies Beneath delivers right up to its shocking and unexpected conclusion.
