Jade Leskiv never planned to fall in love with a married man. She never planned to fall into madness, either.
 
Fresh out of prison and desperate for stability, Jade tries to rebuild her life—but the past clings like smoke. Her affair with Aaron Banks—a charismatic, older man—was supposed to be temporary. A thrill. But when she discovers she’s pregnant, obsession takes root. His wife, Mai, isn’t just in the way. She’s the threat. And Jade has never handled threats well.
 
What begins as a secret spirals into something far more dangerous. As Jade bounces between recovery meetings, violent confrontations, and stolen nights at strip clubs and survivor retreats, each month deepens her descent. Her life fractures into rage, regret, and seduction. But Aaron isn’t the man she thought. And Mai isn’t the victim Jade expected.
 
In a year marked by blood, betrayal, and blurred lines, three lives collide in a deadly storm of passion and paranoia.
Twelve months.
Twelve chances to lose control.
And only one way out.
 
Some women love too hard. Some fight to keep their families whole. But Jade? Jade kills to be remembered.
