Forthcoming Fall 2025, Castle Bridge Media

By Herta Feely

In this suspenseful novel of revenge porn with a twist, thirty-year-old New Yorker Charlotte Cooper is an unfulfilled journalist sent on assignment to London, a place she’d rather avoid. It dredges up old memories of her year at Oxford, of a failed romance, and a broken promise. The death of her cousin
Abbie, for which she feels responsible, kept her from returning to England.

But this second time around turns out to be a reset. She’s offered a chance to become a serious TV reporter and bypass the fluff pieces for more important stories. And with the help of best friend Celia, Charlotte finds the courage to reconnect with the young man she fell in love with half a dozen years earlier, a talented sculptor named Rafe Jackson. She hopes they can pick up where they left off, but there are challenges: his past and hers.

Just as her life looks bright and promising, Charlotte receives an envelope containing
five provocative nude photographs of herself with the anonymous threat that they’ll go viral if
she doesn’t quit her job and return to New York. She has two weeks to find the
culprit or lose everything—her love, her work, her new home.
​
Charlotte struggles to keep her new life together while trying to find out who’s behind
the threat—a task further complicated by the unwanted advances of a powerful boss,
old secrets she can’t reveal to Rafe, and a figure from her past whose intentions are far
more dangerous than she could have imagined.
