The Wife Beneath the Silence Book One of The Frame Series by R.L. Smith She lived by the rules he gave her--until desire wrote its own. Lilly Hartley is the perfect wife. Elegant. Submissive. Devoted. Her life revolves around pleasing her husband -- serving the dinners he likes, wearing the dresses he picks, and smiling at just the right time. But behind the soft eyes and careful silence, Lilly harbors a secret. A hunger. A memory. A past that refuses to stay buried. When an anonymous message reawakens something wild inside her, Lilly is drawn back into a world she barely remembers -- a world of voyeurism, performance, and power. Beneath her pristine marriage lies a dark network known only as The Frame -- an underground collective of elite curators who turn women's lives into immersive, erotic art. And Lilly? She was their first masterpiece. As reality and performance begin to blur, Lilly must unravel the truth about her past, the life she was forced to forget, and the man who may have orchestrated it all. But reclaiming her freedom means risking everything -- including the version of herself that kept her safe. And in a world built on masks, the most dangerous thing Lilly can do... is take hers off. The Wife Beneath the Silence is the seductive first book in The Frame Series -- a dark psychological drama about power, passion and the high cost of breaking free. If you love twist-filled stories of feminine rebellion, erotic tension, and emotionally complex heroines, this gripping series will leave you breathless -- and desperate for the next chapter. "She wasn't unraveling. She was remembering who she was before the silence." Warning: Contains nature themes including emotional manipulation, voyeurism, and psychological control. Recommended for adult readers.
