Fixer Upper meets Gone Girl in this suspenseful and witty domestic thriller set in the world of home renovation TV—featuring a woman who becomes public enemy #1 after a horrifying discovery prompts her to flee her celebrity husband with their twin babies.
Dawn Decker is an American everywoman and the salt to her husband Wyatt’s sweet, media-friendly charm on their Tennessee-based home renovation reality TV show, The Perfect Home. While Dawn bristles at the trappings of their D-list celebrity status, Wyatt hungers for greater fame. The couple also faces infertility issues stemming from Wyatt’s low sperm count. He secretly orders experimental fertility drugs, and they conceive, but his personality takes a dark turn—he becomes moody, withdrawn, and even cruel.
When Dawn discovers his horrifying plot to manufacture a tragedy in order to skyrocket their celebrity status, she takes their infant twins and goes on the run. Wyatt appears on national television to turn the public against her, painting Dawn as an unstable kidnapper suffering from postpartum psychosis. His charm is so compelling that even Dawn’s closest friends doubt her. She will have to dig deep into the past—both hers and Wyatt’s—to find allies, protect her children, and beat this beloved all-American celebrity at his own game.
Told in dual perspectives from both husband and wife, this smart, captivating, and twisty thriller is a fun, addictive read from the very first page.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A reality TV couple falls apart in Kenitz's wickedly entertaining debut. Wyatt Decker is the charming star of Nashville-set home renovation show The Perfect Home. A consummate professional on set, Wyatt hopes to match his sterling work reputation with a picture-perfect home life. After the network hires Dawn Fremont to join him in front of the camera, the two fall in love, leading to a sharp ratings boost, and eventually a wedding. When the couple learns that Wyatt has fertility issues, he quietly turns to black market treatments. The good news: the drugs work, and Dawn gets pregnant with twins. The bad news: Wyatt becomes sullen, surly, and unpredictable, causing Dawn to question whether the drugs have permanently altered his personality. After Dawn gives birth and discovers evidence that Wyatt is drawing up a plan to put the family in danger for another ratings boost, she attempts to disappear with the twins. Wyatt, however, goes straight to the press, framing Dawn as an unstable threat to the children. Soon, the entire country is against her, and she has to turn to unexpected allies for help. Sharp, unpredictable, and chock-full of suspense, this domestic thriller expertly toys with readers' sympathies.
