  Description：
  Everyone believes Robin Maddox is fragile — a soft-spoken survivor of a brutal childhood, saved by the powerful man who adores her.
  
  When the girl who once tormented Robin walks free, Robin's fiancé Adrian Kane swears vengeance on her behalf. But vengeance curdles. Adrian's certainty wavers, the bully whispers poison, and soon Robin finds herself the one accused of lying, locked away while her tormentor takes her place.
  
  Adrian thinks he's holding all the power. He has no idea the quiet, trembling woman in his house has been three moves ahead of him from the day they met — and that every tear, every flinch, every plea is a weight on a scale she alone controls.
  
  A glacial, jaw-dropping psychological revenge novel about a woman the world underestimated, and the terrible patience of someone with nothing left to lose.
