“Propulsive…had me at chapter one and kept me turning the pages long after lights out.” –Lisa Barr, award-winning author of The Unbreakables. In this twisty, compelling thriller, a young woman quickly embarks on what she thinks is the relationship and love of a lifetime, and she’s thrilled when her new husband insists they follow one rule: they don’t talk about the past, but it’s a rule that has dangerous consequences―perfect for fans of A Simple Favor and The Kiss Quotient.
