Getting killed off is a soap star’s worst nightmare, especially when it happens off camera.

Morgan Tyler is a beautiful, sassy young widow who lost the love of her life before she turned thirty and now puts all her romantic energies into her job as the head writer of the award-winning soap opera, Love of My Life.

When one of the show’s starlets is injured in a hit-and-run accident, Morgan crosses paths with the homicide detective Matt Phoenix, who is immediately attracted to her. But their budding relationship becomes complicated when Morgan’s boss is murdered and Morgan is revealed as the sole heir to his estate. Does Matt suspect her? Now a real-life killer is after her. And her time—like sands through the hourglass—is running out.
