A Novel of Betrayal, Survival, and Rewriting the Ending Ariana thought she was safe. Until the day she found an unfamiliar earring in her partner Chandler's car-and everything shattered. What followed wasn't just betrayal. It was a masterclass in emotional manipulation. Every lie. Every denial. Every gaslighting phrase. Familiar. Rehearsed. Scripted. But Ariana wasn't the only one. As she uncovers Chandler's web of deceit-and the other women caught in it-Ariana begins to see the pattern. The performance. The predictable script all cheaters recite when they're caught. And she's done playing the supporting role. What begins as heartbreak transforms into revolution. Ariana rises-from silenced to seen, from broken to bestselling. With truth as her pen and her voice finally her own, she doesn't just survive-she rewrites the story. For herself. For the women who trusted the wrong person. And for the ones still finding their way out.

Jenna Bradshaw's life looks perfect from the outside-a comfortable home, a successful husband, and two grown children. But beneath the surface, her world is crumbling.

When her best friend Sasha tragically dies in a car accident, leaving behind two foster children, Jenna is forced to confront the harsh truths of her existence.

As Jenna builds a new life, she learns to confront her past, embrace her grief, and reclaim her identity. Along the way, she discovers that resilience lies in allowing herself to be vulnerable and in daring to demand the love and respect she deserves.
