How far will you go to save someone you love and trust when theyâve kept a dangerous secret for years? Thatâs the question facing Lance Kingston, a successful Houston magazine executive whose recent marriage to beautiful, high-powered attorney Tia Jiles seemed to promise a bright future for both of them. But under the surface, a fierce and frightening storm was brewing. Thatâs because Tia never revealed to Lance what she and her family have known since Tia was seventeenâshe has an illness that takes over her mind, transforming her into a raging, violent woman hell-bent on destruction. Bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia. Or crazy, as Lanceâs grandmother continually reminds him. âCrazy leaves clues,â she told him point-blank, and perhaps Lance should have listened. Tiaâs mother tries to pray the problem away . . . and Tiaâs doctors canât help her if she wonât do what they advise. Now thereâs more than their marriage and Tiaâs survival at stake: Tia is pregnant, and Lance will stop at nothing to keep his troubled wife and unborn daughter safe. But at what price?
