The Overheard Vow

Nora Calloway hears her husband tell another woman he loves her—through a baby monitor that has been switched off for a week. She doesn't confront him. She starts a notebook: odd receipts, a second key ring, a deposit box she never opened. Grant is a respected heart surgeon; Nora gave up her nursing career to raise their daughter. Every clue points to an affair. Then the deposit box opens, and the truth is worse: Nora testified against a violent man in 2014, and Grant has been protecting her ever since under a federal cover marriage that has quietly become real. The woman on the monitor is a marshal. The parole hearing is in six weeks. And the one person who knew where Nora was hiding has been selling her location to the brother for years. It isn't Grant. It is the sister who once promised to keep her safe. Now the man on parole is coming for their daughter, and Nora and Grant have one night to become the family they were pretending to be.
