Alex thought she knew Daniel better than she knew herself. In fact, she was so confident about it that she married him. When her older brother was murdered, he was the only one she could talk to and the only one who knew how to ease her suffering. After three blissful years together and a baby on the way, she learns of the horrible secret that her husband has been keeping from her. He knows who killed her brother and it's the last person she'd expect it to be. Their close and trusted friend Kaelan O'Neill.
Alex thought she would finally have closure on her brother's death, knowing that the killer had been discovered. Instead, that one secret only lead to a dozen more that fell like dominoes right into her lap. Kaelan was being framed by Daniel for two reasons. One: Because Kaelan was secretly in love with Alex. Two: Kaelen knows the truth... That Daniel is the one who killed Alex's brother.
Author's Note (and trigger warning):
Hey guys! Trying my hand at a thriller romance! I'm a true sucker for romance and must have it in every story I read and write. Thriller I'm not so familiar with, but I'm trying it anyways! I also labeled this book as mature because there are mentions of murder and abuse. Nothing's happened that bad yet, but I thought I would mention it anyways so read on at your own risk!

I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him.

He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued.
