"Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel. Every one sees what you appear to be, very few really know what you are."

~ Niccolo di Bernardo dei Machiavelli

A lie brought them together… will the truth tear them apart?

Imogen and Harrison Banks are passionately in love with one another. They also enjoy a non-monogamous marriage that few people know about.

But when Harrison, an LA-based executive producer, starts seeing Amanda Stanley, a married American actor who is cheating on her Hawaiian husband, Herd, the former investigative journalist in Imogen takes issue, fuelled by betrayals and injustices that marred her childhood and adolescence.

Under the guise of celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary in Hawai‘i, Imogen manipulates her way into Herd’s life and seduces him to even the score—for him—as she prepares to expose his wife’s affair. But, normally expert at playing games with others, she soon realises she has met her match in this pensive, unassuming artist. His eyes see through her polished veneer, and his hands have come to know her too well.

Plagued by second thoughts about continuing her stubborn quest to uncover the truth, Imogen knows she will only end up hurting the man she has—alarmingly—grown to love, who neither deserves it nor invited her interference.

To protect her heart, will she break his?
