Success made her rich. Staying anonymous might cost her everything.
She appears to have it all, until she realizes she’s broke and out of time. Writing a novel under a pseudonym for cash seems like the perfect solution - until it starts to cost her everything.
From the outside, Harriet’s life appears perfect: an established career, weekend trips, a long-term relationship, designer bags and late reservations - the kind of life that reads as expensive.
At forty, she seems untouchable.
She isn’t. She’s broke.
After years of spending first and fixing it later, later has finally arrived.
So she makes a practical decision. She writes a book for money and publishes it under a pseudonym.
It works. The book becomes a bestseller.
But it’s too close to the truth, it says the things she’s never dared say out loud.
If anyone connects her to it, she could lose everything: her relationship, her career, the carefully curated life she’s built.
As questions start creeping closer - at home, at work, from the people who know her best - Harriet finds herself protecting the secret at any cost.
