Eleven years after college, Audrey Marcus thought the messiest parts of her past were safely behind her. Her husband, Eugene, built a successful life after they left Blackwell University, a prestigious HBCU—a thriving real estate career, a Caribbean restaurant he co-owns with his longtime fraternity brother, and a wife and daughter he loves. Then he’s arrested for murdering a woman from their college past. And not just any woman. A woman who once joined Audrey and Eugene in bed for a night of desire, temptation and consequences. She wants to believe the man she loves, but a decade of marriage has already shown her how fragile trust can be. As the case deepens, old betrayals, buried secrets, and unanswered questions begin to resurface. Her older brother, Derek, who is also Eugene’s lawyer, is fighting to save him. Rashad, Eugene’s best friend and fraternity brother, knows more than he is saying. And as Audrey searches for answers, another name begins creeping into the case: Zai. A strange man she can't place. A connection she doesn't yet understand. And the closer Audrey gets to the truth, the more she realizes Eugene’s case may only be the beginning of something else. Because time can bury a secret. It can't erase what happened.
