I Woke Up Guilty

Mara Ellison wakes in a Virginia hotel wearing her missing sister’s dress and the blood of her murdered ex-husband, billionaire technology mogul Adrian Cross. She remembers nothing from the previous twelve hours, but the evidence is devastating: her fingerprints are on the knife, surveillance footage places her inside Adrian’s estate, and a recording captures her predicting his death. Then an anonymous message arrives: *You didn’t kill him. I did.* To prove her innocence and protect her ten-year-old daughter, Mara must reconstruct the missing night and investigate the technology empire Adrian used to monitor, isolate, and control vulnerable women. But every clue leads back to Celeste—the sister Mara failed to believe before she disappeared twelve years earlier. Now Mara is hunting the truth while Adrian’s powerful allies are hunting her. Clearing her name will require exposing the secret she helped him bury.
