YOU'LL BE SORRY
Psychological thriller · Revenge thriller
Available now in all formats.
On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Amelia Montgomery flips through a magazine and freezes at the sight of a familiar face—Ethan Blackmore, the man who shattered her heart more than a decade ago.
What should’ve been her happily-ever-after took a devastating turn that spiraled into the darkest period of Amelia’s life. Blindsided and betrayed, she spent years reinventing herself, building a thriving business, and vowing never to look back.
Until now.
Seeing him again reminds Amelia of the shame and humiliation she endured at the hands of her ex and his family. And Ethan? He’s clearly moved on—new wife, new career, new life—without a thought for the wreckage he left behind.
But Amelia is a different woman now—strong, successful, and resourceful. And she knows exactly what she wants for her birthday: Revenge.
