Our friendship was like a lifeline for you. You always turned to me when you needed a pick-me-up, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. I was always there for you, no matter what. But little did I know, our friendship served as an ego boost to help you always feel better about yourself. You used me as a crutch, never truly dealing with your own issues. But I was blinded by my love and loyalty to you, never seeing the truth until it was too late. Our friendship was not a two-way street, but I couldn’t bring myself to walk away.

Harper Jones could not help but feel like a failure as she sat alone in her tiny apartment, gazing at the blank sheet in front of her. Her writing career had been a succession of setbacks and rejections, despite her longtime desire to be a successful author. Just when she was about to give up, she received a call from a literary agent offering her the opportunity of a lifetime – to ghostwrite the next book for a bestselling author.

She accepted the position with excitement and gratitude for the chance and soon found herself at the lavish house of her new employer, a reclusive bestselling novelist named Eva Hart. Looking more closely at Eva’s life, she learned Eva wasn’t who she claimed to be and was engaged in several illicit activities. Harper had a moral choice: she could reveal the truth and endanger her safety or keep it a secret and maintain her way of life.

The story takes unexpected turns as Harper gets sucked deeper into a labyrinth of lies, danger, and deceit, where she is forced to choose between her safety and the truth. It is an exciting and intriguing story that examines morality, loyalty, and the value of truth.
