Cora grips the side of the chair as she hears the words she never thought she would. ‘Jack was dead on arrival. The only other person in the car was Jack’s wife.’ Cora is stunned. What wife?

Cora’s New York life is perfect – her handsome partner Jack is everything she ever dreamed of, and she has a career she loves.
