After Acquittal

Carly had the perfect life; great job, gorgeous house, prominent in the little community she lived in and married to her soul mate. Yep, life was perfect — until she uncovered his dirty little secret…a secret, it seemed, that only she didn’t know about. There was no going back, no forgiveness, no second chance. It was time for her to leave him.

Carly’s life starts to fall apart at her feet, taking a frightening turn when her husband dies unexpectedly. Given the circumstances — and the fact that she seems to have motive — someone suspects foul play and Carly is charged and tried for murder.

After months of harassment, and she’s acquitted, she changes her name and moves more than 300 miles away from the town she knows and loves in a bid to make a fresh start. At first, it’s bliss, if not a little lonely. After a while though, she starts to get the unnerving feeling that she’s being watched…that, somehow, she’d been found.

After too many coincidences and incidents form a pattern, she has no choice but to reach out to the local police force. Who’s following her, breaking into her home and leaving threatening notes? What lengths will this individual go to in order to dish out their own justice? With nothing to go on, can the police even protect her, and could the officer determined to defend her be her second chance?
