About this book

Some houses hold secrets. This one holds something far worse.

Struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh accepts what seems like a career-saving opportunity: travel to the Crawford estate and ghostwrite the remaining books in bestselling author Verity Crawford's wildly successful series. It's the kind of offer desperate writers don't refuse. But the moment Lowen steps inside that house, something feels deeply, irreversibly wrong.

Verity Crawford lies incapacitated, barely present yet somehow suffocating every room. Her husband Jeremy is grieving, guarded, and frustratingly impossible to read — the kind of man Lowen knows she should keep at a professional distance. She has every reason to distrust him. She tries. She fails.

Then Lowen finds the manuscript.

Hidden away like a confession no one was ever meant to read, Verity's own words unravel a story so disturbing it rewrites everything Lowen thinks she understands about this family, this house, and the man she's falling for against every instinct she possesses. The darkness tucked inside those pages doesn't just unsettle — it consumes.

This contemporary suspense romance pulls no punches. Colleen Hoover crafts a story where attraction and dread are practically indistinguishable, where every tender moment between Lowen and Jeremy exists under the shadow of what she now knows. Or thinks she knows.

The ending delivers something that feels like relief — until it doesn't.

For readers who want their romance laced with genuine, skin-crawling unease, *Verity* is an experience that doesn't let go long after the final page.
