She wanted to give the ultimate gift. It became the ultimate betrayal.

Fabiola has spent her life being good – the perfect daughter, a supportive wife to her husband’s career, a devoted mother to her three children, and a loyal best friend to Liz, who married Fabiola’s childhood friend, Peter.

When Liz struggles to start her own family, Fabiola devises the perfect plan. She’s good at being pregnant and is eager to help her friend. It seems like the greatest gift one woman can give another. And Peter? For Peter, she’d do anything.

But one reckless moment changes everything. Now, Fabiola must choose whom to protect: her best friend, the man she’s never stopped loving, or the child growing inside her. As her marriage unravels, Fabiola realizes the hardest promises to keep are the ones we make to ourselves.

A deeply moving exploration of motherhood, friendship, and the complex choices women make in the name of love, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Lucinda Berry, and Liane Moriarty.
