Verity

by Colleen Hoover

Lowen Ashleigh is a poor writer on the verge of bankruptcy when she takes the job of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, popular novelist Verity Crawford's husband, has hired Lowen to finish the remaining novels in a lucrative series that his wounded wife is unable to complete.

Lowen arrives at the Crawford residence, eager to sift through years of Verity's notes and outlines in the hopes of finding enough material to get her started. What Lowen does not expect to find in the shambles of Verity's office is an unfinished autobiography that Verity never meant for anybody to read. Page after page of disturbing revelations, including Verity's remembrance of the night her family's lives were permanently changed.

Lowen chooses to withhold the book from Jeremy, knowing that its contents may be devastating to the already bereaved parent. But as Lowen's feelings for Jeremy become stronger, she realises how much she would benefit if he read his wife's comments. After all, no matter how much Jeremy loves his damaged wife, this knowledge would make it difficult for him to continue loving her.
