Description

Combining elements of Fixer Upper and Gone Girl, this clever, gripping domestic thriller plunges readers into the dramatic behind-the-scenes chaos of a popular home renovation TV show—where a woman suddenly finds herself America’s most wanted figure after a shocking revelation forces her to flee from her celebrity husband with their infant twins.

Dawn Decker embodies the relatable, down-to-earth persona opposite her charismatic husband Wyatt on their Tennessee-based reality renovation series, “The Perfect Home.” While Dawn grows uncomfortable with their modest reality-TV fame, Wyatt craves greater and greater celebrity. Behind closed doors, they’re struggling privately with infertility, caused by Wyatt’s low sperm count issues. Desperate to conceive, Wyatt secretly acquires experimental fertility drugs, finally enabling Dawn to become pregnant. However, alongside this happy breakthrough, Dawn notices disturbing changes in Wyatt’s behavior—he grows moody, distant, and increasingly cruel.

Everything shatters when Dawn uncovers Wyatt’s terrifying plan: an orchestrated tragedy meant to catapult their family into national media stardom. Terrified, Dawn flees with her babies in tow, but Wyatt retaliates, using his charm on national television to present Dawn as dangerously unstable, a kidnapper suffering postpartum psychosis. His charm is so persuasive and cunning that even Dawn’s closest friends begin questioning her sanity and motives.

Forced to dig deep into both their backgrounds, Dawn hunts desperately for allies from the past and present. Determined to save herself and protect her children, Dawn must unmask her beloved television-star husband’s twisted scheme and defeat him in the very public spotlight he so desires.

Told in alternating viewpoints between husband and wife, this sharp, witty thriller hooks readers with its suspenseful twists and captivating drama from page one.
