Devastated by betrayal, a woman embarks on a daring quest for justice in this dazzling and redemptive novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels.

SHE LOST EVERYTHING . . .
Kate and Alex Rocket are blessed with a wonderful marriage and a lovely home. Although Kate can’t have children, she and Alex look upon Sara and Emily, daughters of their good friends Don and Debbie Winter, as part of their family.

EXCEPT HOPE . . .
With one phone call, everything changes. Sara accuses Alex of a terrible act, opening up a vicious rift between the couples. Kate watches helplessly as her innocent husband is convicted and sent to prison. But when even greater tragedy strikes, Kate’s grief turns to anger, and she discovers an inner strength and steel-edged resolve to clear her husband’s name—and ruin those who destroyed their life together. But Kate’s greatest challenge will be in avenging Alex without losing her chance at a new future—and a precious new love . . .
Praise for Fern Michaels:

"Dramatic, riveting and a delicious page turner." —Woman's World on Fearless

"Without giving too much of this fabulous, stirring, somewhat suspenseful, novel away before you get a chance to read it yourself, let me just say that CJ finds herself uprooted from everyone and everything she's ever known, and placed (for her own protection) into a small New England town—on the water that took Kick from her... There are so many layers to this story; as each is peeled back and revealed to the reader, it's the heart, soul, and resilience of CJ, a strong female character, that endears Deep Harbor to us." Delilah, Radio Host and Bestselling Author

"This stand-alone book is a warm-hearted, romantic story with a touch of suspense and carries Michaels' trademark funny, snappy banter." —Booklist on Deep Harbor

"Michaels' highly developed skills as a storyteller are evident in the affable characters, suspenseful plot, and delightful romance." —Publishers Weekly on Deep Harbor
