A novel by C A Phipps
A bitter divorce. A jealous girlfriend. And a deadly Valentine's Day.
Ellie Prescott thought returning to Portland would finally bring her long, painful divorce to an end. Instead, she's forced back into the business she helped build, dealing with mounting financial problems, bitter accusations... and Tom's possessive new girlfriend.
When the woman is found dead just days before Valentine's Day, Tom wastes no time pointing the finger at the one person who has every reason to hate her.
Ellie.
With the police closing in and her reputation hanging by a thread, Ellie must untangle a web of jealousy, lies, and betrayal stretching far beyond her failed marriage.
Because someone is using her past to hide a deadly secret...
...and this time, walking away isn't an option.
