Imani Carter has everything she once prayed for—a beautiful home, a rising career in public relations, and a husband, Malik, who has loved her since they were teenagers. From the outside, their marriage looks like a dream. Inside, though, it has grown predictable, careful, and a little too quiet.

The balance of power inside their marriage cracks, revealing jealousy, possessiveness, and a darkness Imani never noticed before.
