Original Book Plot:
Lowen Ashleigh is a poor writer on the verge of bankruptcy when she takes the job of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, bestselling novelist Verity Crawford's husband, has hired Lowen to finish the remaining novels in a successful series that his injured wife is unable to complete.
Lowen arrives at the Crawford residence, eager to sift through years of Verity's notes and outlines in the hopes of finding enough material to get her started. What Lowen does not expect to find in the shambles of Verity's office is an unfinished autobiography that Verity never intended for anybody to read. Page after page of horrifying revelations, including Verity's remembrance of the night their family's life was permanently changed.
Lowen decides to withhold the manuscript from Jeremy, knowing that its contents will be devastating to the bereaved parent. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy become stronger, she realizes how much she would benefit if he read his wife's comments. After all, no matter how much Jeremy loves his disabled wife, a truth like this would make it difficult for him to continue loving her...
