Her voice trembled as she whispered, 'I think someone's following me'-and then the line went dead.
Rhys Moone never got over that call. Not when they found her car submerged in the river hours later. Not when the autopsy ruled it an accident. Not when he buried her.
Six years on, Rhys has built an empire-one suspiciously adjacent to the legal consultancy firm where his wife, Clara Moone, once defended whistleblowers and corporate victims. Rhys claims it's his way of honouring her legacy. But the truth? He's still searching.
Still dreaming of that night.
Still replaying her voice.
Still convinced... it wasn't an accident.
When Elsie reaches out, claiming to hold crucial information about Clara's final case, Rhys is pulled back into the shadowy world Clara had tried to escape-a world of billion-dollar fraud, hidden enemies, and deadly secrets someone will kill to protect. As Rhys and Elsie dig deeper into Clara's twisted past, they uncover a shocking secret experiment that fuels uncertainty, paranoia, and lingering questions about the choices that shaped her career-and her fate.
Then... Clara's voice shows up on a burner phone recording.

Ashes Between Us
Eleanor never wanted this life. Married off to Boe-a wealthy man twice her age, known for his violence, infidelity, and sharp silences-she learned early that love can burn colder than hate. He drinks. He lies. He fights. She smokes to breathe through it. Bound by secrets and habits that rot from the inside out, their marriage becomes a quiet war. Neither wins. Neither surrenders. But when Boe dies suddenly in a car crash, Eleanor's world unravels in slow motion. Left alone with the ghosts of their home, she drowns herself in whiskey, cigarettes, and the endless hum of the television-until the static begins to sound like his voice. And when the grief becomes unbearable, she turns to darker fascinations: documentaries about killers, obsessions with control, and the calm that comes before destruction. What begins as mourning turns into method. What begins as love turns into revenge. By the time Eleanor's final act unfolds, the truth is already twisted beyond recognition-and no one will ever know where the lies end and the love begins. A toxic love story about denial, control, and the quiet violence between two broken souls-bound by the same ghostComplete
