They planned to steal my lodge. I kept the river and sank their future.
My husband cheated on me with my favorite guest’s wife.
That discovery is devastating.
What they’re planning behind my back is worse.
For three summers, Gigi Fleming has smiled across my dinner table and stayed in my cabins with her husband Jim at the Idaho fishing lodge I spent a decade building. All while carrying on a secret affair with my husband.
The affair isn’t their only betrayal. Cody and Gigi aren’t just sleeping together. They’re making plans for a future funded by my business. My lodge. My life. While I guide clients down the Salmon River, they’re quietly positioning themselves to walk away with everything I’ve worked for.
They think I’ll keep rowing the boat while they sell the shore out from under me, but they’re wrong.
As I gather evidence, uncover financial deception, and expose a scheme that goes far beyond infidelity, the life I thought I had begins to unravel. Secrets surface that make every lie hurt even more than the last. When I discover the cost of Cody’s biggest lie, it’s devastating. I want to make him pay for what he’s put me through.
The only bright spot is Noah Winslow, the conservation biologist who arrives at the lodge looking for trout habitat data and somehow reminds me what respect feels like.
While Cody and Gigi are busy planning their future, I’m planning something else entirely. They wanted my lodge, but they’re going to lose everything.
