Parker Evans religiously protects his privacy on a small island, so no one knows that he is really bestselling author Mackensie Roone. Now, Parker is secretly writing a more literary novel called ENVY about the destructive rivalry between friends that leads to the imprisonment of one and the bestselling success of the other. Parker adopts a pseudonym and submits a chapter directly to Maris Matherly-Reed, the publisher of Matherly Press.
Fascinated and impressed, Maris travels to meet with Parker and discovers that he is confined to a wheelchair. She agrees to become his editor, and as they work together on the island, their mutual attraction grows. But at the same time, Noah Reed, Maris's husband and colleague, reads the manuscript. He recognizes the story as his own and realizes that it could have only been written by one person -- the friend he left for dead 14 years earlier. Noah must silence Parker before his treachery is exposed in ENVY.
