Her husband killed someone. She’s the only witness.

Amanda Davis has it all: a beautiful home, a thriving career, and a charismatic husband who is the darling of television news. But when Paul kills someone in a disturbing accident, Amanda’s perfect world shatters. Pulled into a web of manipulation, deceit, and dark secrets, she becomes his unwilling accomplice, trapped in a twisted, dangerous existence that tests the limits of love and loyalty.

As the weight of the secret bears down, Amanda begins to see a side of Paul she’s never known—cold, manipulative, and dangerously unpredictable. His charm fades, replaced by a chilling determination to keep their secret at any cost. The walls are closing in: the police are investigating, strange events unsettle her, and Paul’s behavior grows more menacing by the day.

Trapped and isolated, Amanda realizes she’s not just covering up an accident—she’s become a prisoner in her own life. With her sanity and safety on the line, she must decide: How far will she go to escape the web of lies? And who can she trust when the one person she thought she knew best becomes a threat?

In this gripping, twisty psychological thriller, Amazon Charts and Kindle #1 best-selling author Leslie Wolfe masterfully crafts a tale of chilling deception, dangerous secrets, and the terrifying lengths we go to in order to keep up appearances. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, and Jeneva Rose, A Beautiful Couple will leave you breathless and questioning everything you thought you knew about love, loyalty, and trust.

Sandy's Valentine

 

Happiness Begins with You

Excerpt from the short story, Sandy's Valentine


“You need people.”

“I have work.”

“That’s not enough.”

Sandy sighed again. It wasn’t worth the exhausting energy to keep arguing with her. Cathy’s heels were dug in deep and Sandy would follow her parents’ wishes to the letter.

So, she took acrylic painting lessons.

Several months after that, she took pottery and ceramic lessons.

Then, she took ballroom dance lessons.

It didn’t help. She continued to feel off balance and out-of-whack. She needed time. The last several years were a rough go of it.

Sandy got up and poured herself another cup of coffee. Returning to the living room she could see the photograph of her parents, Sandy, and her ex-boyfriend, Jake. Not willing to shove it away in a box, she’d placed it on the bottom shelf of her end table. It was always within view of her favorite chair.

It always made her smile.

She should’ve stored it in a box somewhere years ago, but it was such an awesome picture. The Disney castle was in the background, the weather was warm, and everyone was thrilled to be sharing the day together.

She couldn’t believe she’d known Jake for so long, and still wanted him after all these years. They’d met while both of them were in college. He’s the one who convinced her to take a stab at real estate.

Best decision she ever made.

She and Jake always seemed to be on the same page. The two of them stayed up all hours of the night and talked about the future and what they wanted out of life. They never considered they’d end up going their separate ways. They thought it’d be forever. They were young and naïve.

The bright future sparkled in their eyes. If they’d only know what sadness the future held for them.

Ah, no regrets. Sandy would have loved him and cherished him regardless of how it all turned out.

Secret desires were shared. She’d whispered how she wanted to teach art classes and illustrate children’s books on the side. He dreamed about working on Wall Street.

The promises they’d made to each other...
