Sometimes the end is only the beginning. Almost two years after her husband dies, Ellie Marston opens the file for Tab's last manuscript, a thriller so compelling it reads like a true story. His manuscript needs an ending, so Ellie writes the obvious conclusion. The same morning she types The End, her career as an assistant district attorney falls apart. Accused of throwing the high profile Malone case, she resigns in disgrace. The only friend Ellie has left in the criminal justice system is Det. Paul Santiago. While she was married to Tab, she squashed her growing feelings for Paul, determined to make her deteriorating marriage work. Paul's heart is breaking for Ellie. He hid his feeling for her as he watched from the sidelines while her husband betrayed her over and over again. Now, Paul has a chance to help her mend her broken heart, but will she let him? Together Paul and Ellie attempt to uncover a conspiracy in the District Attorney's office, the set up that forced her to resign. The key to the mystery is hidden in the pages of Tab's manuscript, and Ellie's added ending is the only logical conclusion to the story. Danger swirls around them as they step further and further into the conspirator's trap.
