Dissemblance
of
Amy Rodriguez is trapped in a marriage unraveling under the weight of infertility and unspoken resentment. To the world, her husband Mark is a celebrated psychologist and best-selling author, a man of brilliance and devotion. But behind closed doors, his carefully curated facade masks an ambition that comes at the cost of their relationship, and Amy’s trust.
As Amy’s longing for connection grows, she finds herself drawn to the seemingly idyllic life of her best friend Charlotte, whose growing family is a painful reminder of what Amy cannot have. Desperation pushes her to make a choice that will ripple through her world, testing the limits of loyalty, morality, and her own identity.
When Callum Bradshaw enters her life, his quiet intensity offers an intoxicating mix of solace and mystery. But Callum harbors secrets of his own, secrets that could destroy not only Amy’s fragile sense of self but also the delicate threads holding her life together.
As cracks appear in Mark’s perfectly constructed image, the boundaries between love, betrayal, and control blur, forcing Amy to confront the truth; no one in her life is who they seem, not even herself.
Dissemblance is an emotionally charged psychological suspense that explores obsession, deception, and the lengths we go to protect the lies that define us. Perfect for readers who crave morally complex characters and haunting twists, this is a story where every revelation cuts deeper than the last. Please check the trigger warnings.
