Ever wondered how it feels to wake up and find your best friend-and-room-mate missing? When cops aren't able to generate leads, Ashley Kruger has decided to resign to fate and be patient. 'She'll be fine...somewhere...She's a tough girl, that Lily...' is how she reassures herself.
*************************************************************************
Three months, no leads and one accident later, Ashley finds herself in a hospital bed with a broken arm and a broken heart - her fiance Jordan Sanders is no more. As accidents go, she expected an open and shut case. But, there's a minute problem...the driver was a contract killer...
*************************************************************************
"Mr. Sanders and you were both his targets, ma'am, meaning you're not safe until he's out there..." - Cops
*************************************************************************
"Thank God Jordan's dead." - Sam Kruger
**************************************************************************
Who is trying to kill Ashley? Is it her own brother, or is there something much sinister and messed up going on behind her back? Is Lily's disappearance related to any of this? Follow the siblings in their crime-filled, betrayal laced journey sugar-coated with love as they dig deeper for justice into the mess that their lives are, only in "The Expose".
