The Perfect Wife Book 2 of The Perfect Series Tess Wilder Six months after her secrets shattered everything, Sarah Mitchell is rebuilding: a new trauma practice, a healing marriage, her daughter at Yale. She's learning to live honestly—until a private investigator's call rips open the fragile peace. David's firm is under federal scrutiny for financial irregularities. His former colleague Rachel Lawson has filed a harassment complaint. Money is missing. And the man Sarah married, the man she thought she knew after eighteen years, has been hiding something far darker than she ever imagined. Sarah survived her own buried past. Now she must face her husband's. Is David a predator, a thief, a liar—or all three? The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her world becomes. Institutions protect the powerful. Threats reach her children. And the question isn't just whether David is guilty—it's how much Sarah already suspected, and what she's willing to do when love demands she stop looking away. With only thirty days before federal indictments could destroy their family forever, Sarah must decide: protect the illusion of her marriage, or burn it down to save what's left. A gripping psychological thriller of betrayal, institutional corruption, and the terrifying cost of truth—perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Silent Patient, and Behind Her Eyes.
