Publisher's Synopsis
To her husband, Annie O'Neill is the perfect wife and mother…
To the man who adores her, she's an unattainable ideal. To her rival, she is an obsession.

Midway through the desperate effort to save the young woman's life, Olivia realizes who she is-Annie O'Neill.
The woman Olivia's husband, Paul, is in love with. When Annie dies on the operating table, she leaves behind three other victims. Alec O'Neill, who thought he had the perfect marriage.

And about the secrets she kept hidden so well.
