The truth hurts : a novel
(Book)

Caught up in a whirlwind romance, Poppy barely has time to catch her breath, let alone question if all this is too good to be true. Drew is enamored, devoted, and a little mysterious, but that's part of the thrill. What's the harm in letting his past remain private? Fortunately, Drew never seems to wonder why his young wife has so readily agreed to their unusual pact to live only in the here and now and not probe their personal histories. Perhaps he assumes that she is simply swept up in the intoxication of infatuation and sudden wealth. But when Poppy is isolated in Drew's sprawling mansion, she starts to have time to doubt the man she's married, to wonder what in his past might be so terrible that it can't be spoken of. She doesn't want this dream to shatter, but Poppy may soon be forced to confront the dark truth that there are sins far more dangerous than the sin of omission.
