His Last Mistress
About this ebook
Dr. Suzanne Wolf has spent her career listening to heartbreak. But when two women walk into her office—years apart, strangers to each other—she begins to hear the same story told in different voices.
Deborah Bloom, a celebrated surgeon, has spent twenty years rationalizing her husband’s emotional cruelty and serial infidelity. He’s moved out, but he remains everywhere in her life—rewriting the past, shaping the present, and refusing to release his hold.
Lulu Mueller, a sharp, ambitious attorney, believes she’s finally found real love. Her partner’s marriage is “ending.” His promises are convincing. Their future feels inevitable.
He has promised that future before.
Neither woman knows about the other. But Suzanne begins to recognize something darker than infidelity: isolation disguised as devotion, control masked as intimacy, and a pattern that keeps tightening.
Now the therapist faces an impossible choice: protect her patients’ confidences—or intervene before someone gets hurt.
His Last Mistress is a dark psychological thriller about coercive control, self-deception, and the devastating cost of believing the wrong story about love.
