The Bitter Truth

An upstanding political candidate. A determined stalker. A shattering lost weekend. Amid the clashes and
intrigue of the campaign trail, to what lengths will the elegant, all-too-devoted wife of a seemingly incorruptible
politician go in the name of love, loyalty, and ego?
From breakout Tiktok star Shanora Williams, a propulsive, sexy, rich-people-behaving-badly thriller for fans of
Kellye Garrett, Sally Hepworth, Liv Constantine, Eliza Jane Brazier, and Tarryn Fisher.
For Jolene “Jo” Baker, the least she can do for her adoring husband, Dominic, is give unwavering support for
his North Carolina gubernatorial run. He is not only the love of her life, he's also helping her prove that she's
far more than just a pampered trophy wife. With huge crowds showing up at Dominic’s speeches and the polls
consistently in his favor, she's never been happier to stand proudly by his side . . .
Until she and Dominic start seeing the same, strangely ominous woman turning up all along the campaign trail.
Until their tour starts becoming a nightmare of botched events, crucial missed information, and increasingly
dangerous “accidents.” Suddenly Jo can't get any answers from Dominic—or understand why he is acting so
paranoid and terrified . . .
What Jo can do is start digging into his past—one she's never really questioned beyond his perfect image and
dazzling accomplishments. What results is an alarming series of events that leave her baffled: Good friends
turn into enemies, truths are revealed to be lies, and all clues lead back to one secret, shattering weekend
that changes Jo’s entire life. With her world splintering into pieces, can Jo risk trying to set things right? Or will
hiding the bitter truth by any means necessary destroy her as well?
