Beneath the Surface of Content

Shawna Hall, the picture-perfect housewife, has meticulously crafted a façade of happiness over the past 17 years. Her life, to an outsider, seems idyllic—a two-story home in a charming neighborhood, designer clothes, and a seemingly doting husband. Yet, beneath this carefully constructed exterior, Shawna's life is a tempest of hidden turmoil.. Her husband, Greg, is not the caring partner he appears to be. He is a controlling, abusive cheater who is ready to take away the one person who is keeping Shawna’s life from falling apart, her best friend, Trudy.. So, when Greg leaves for his 2-week deployment, Shawna seizes the opportunity to break free from her routine and seek out a taste of adventure. Unfortunately, her little adventure puts her directly in the path of a few unsavory characters and a very close call with danger. Yet, amidst this chaos, she encounters Patrick, a man who might just hold the key to a new chapter in her life, one that could redefine her and her self-worth.. But what does that mean for her life when Greg returns? Although Patrick is offering her the world, can she trust him? And even if she could, she questions if she’s worthy enough to accept it.. Will this be a second chance at love?
