A heart-racing new psychological thriller from USA Today bestselling and multiple award-winning author, Hank Phillippi Ryan.

Words have the power to change lives, and no one knows that better than PR fixer Arden Ward. Disgraced after accusations of having an affair with a client, Arden only has two weeks to save her career before she's left with nothing-and then she meets Cordelia Bannister.

Cordelia needs help for her husband Ned, a successful Boston real estate mogul. Though he was recently acquitted in a fatal drunk driving accident, his reputation has been decimated, and the fallout is beginning to wreak havoc on not only their lives, but the lives of their children.

Arden devotes her final days on the job to helping this shattered family, but the more she works to untangle the truth, the more one question begins to frighten her-what if she's protecting a killer?

Everyone believes that words can never hurt them, but Arden knows that's not true. Sometimes one wrong word can kill.
