About this book

Book Summary

From New York Times bestselling author Jeneva Rose comes a special hardcover collector's edition of her breakout thriller, The Perfect Marriage. Fully reedited, it features an exclusive new chapter complete with courtroom illustrations, red sprayed edges, gorgeous endpapers, and a sneak peek of the first three chapters of the upcoming sequel, The Perfect Divorce.

Sarah Morgan is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Washington, DC. With a perfect case record and having made named partner before the age of thirty-five, her life is going exactly as she planned.

However, the same cannot be said for her husband, Adam, a failed author, who's grown to resent his wife's meteoric success as he feels it's come at the expense of their relationship.

For almost two years, Adam has kept his affair with Kelly Summers a secret, but everything changes when her body is discovered at the couple's lake house and Adam is arrested on suspicion of murder.

Sarah now finds herself facing her most challenging case yet when she vows to defend her husband—a man accused of murdering his mistress.

While Adam is certainly guilty of sleeping with Kelly, the question remains: Is he guilty of killing her too?
