Instant USA TODAY bestseller AS SEEN IN THE NEW YORK POST Sex. Crime. Obsession. Free fall. A thrilling summer romance in the Hamptons takes a harrowing turn when an New York City food writer lets chemistry eclipse her judgment. Mia De Luce is a successful, twenty-five-year-old food writer with zest and appetite. She's built her dream life in Manhattan while working at her family's red sauce restaurant. But she's missing one thing--love.
Then, one thrilling weekend away in the Hamptons, she is seduced by a charismatic and attractive stranger named Ben Cohen. Caught up in the whirlwind romance, Mia ignores the little red flags she and others see--like Ben's adrenaline-seeking tendencies and reckless attitude. She turns a blind eye because, for the first time, she feels truly seen by someone.
But a single event shatters their all-consuming chemistry and forces Mia to live a double life. One as a food writer, savoring caviar bumps and champagne at the world's best restaurants...and one in secret, filled with shame and deception.
Can Mia confront the truth about herself, Ben, and their relationship? Or, will she lose herself forever to Ben's world and his toxic manipulation, destroying the enviable life she built for herself in New York City?
