Verity

Lowen Ashleigh, a published author living in New York City, grieves her mother's death from cancer while struggling to find a wider audience for her work. She is approached by a publisher looking for someone to help one of their bestselling authors finish a popular novel series. The author, Verity Crawford, known for writing novels from the perspectives of immoral villains, has been left catatonic after a near-fatal car accident, a fact hidden from the media to prevent fans from thinking the series is over. Verity's husband, Jeremy, is mourning the recent drowning of their young daughter, Harper, from a canoeing accident. He assures Lowen she will be the best candidate for the job, as Verity has read her work and enjoyed it.
