The Woman in the Lakehouse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245949529)

Some deaths look like accidents. Some are carefully rehearsed.
When Evelyn Hart's estranged husband is pulled from the black depths of Bellmere Lake, her unsettling calm makes her the town's easiest suspect. No grief. No hysteria. Just silence. Detective Cole Rivers knows silence can be more dangerous than screams.
As the investigation tightens, Evelyn's story begins to unravel. Sedatives in his system. A missing weapon. Memories that shift when pressed too hard. The lake house grows claustrophobic, the town turns hostile, and someone begins leaving quiet reminders that the past isn't done with her.
Cole should keep his distance. Instead, he's drawn closer-each interrogation blurring into confession, each moment pulling him further off balance. The more he learns, the less certain he becomes of her innocence... or his own judgment.
Someone is watching. Someone has been guiding every step closer. The evidence tightens, the town closes in, and Cole realizes the most dangerous thing about Evelyn isn't what she's done-it's how badly he wants to protect her.
She swears she's innocent. She swears she needs him.
But when obsession feels this intimate... who is really in control?
