Between Two Strangers: A Novel of Suspense

Struggling artist Skyler Moore receives an unexpected phone call from a lawyer about a "private matter." She learns she has inherited a large sum of money from Christopher Whaley, a man she does not know. The inheritance is life-changing and would allow her to pursue her long-held dream of becoming a mother. Skyler investigates her benefactor's identity and eventually realizes they met once at a hotel bar over a decade ago and had a one-night stand. They never exchanged names or contact information. She cannot understand why he would leave her such a substantial bequest or whether the inheritance carries some hidden message. Christopher's family is equally confused and suspicious. His widow accuses Skyler of having an affair with her late husband and threatens revenge. To protect herself, Skyler must uncover the true reason for the inheritance. As she digs deeper, she discovers that Christopher Whaley may have taken other secrets to his grave—secrets with potentially terrifying consequences for her.
