After the devastating loss of her husband in Iraq, Morgan Dane returns to Scarlet Falls, seeking the comfort of her hometown. Now, surrounded by family, she’s finally found peace and a promising career opportunity—until her babysitter is killed and her neighbor asks her to defend his son, Nick, who stands accused of the murder.
Tessa was the ultimate girl next door, and the community is outraged by her death. But Morgan has known Nick for years and can’t believe he’s guilty, despite the damning evidence stacked against him. She asks her friend Lance Kruger, an ex-cop turned private eye, for help. Taking on the town, the police, and a zealous DA, Morgan and Lance plunge into the investigation, determined to find the real killer. But as they uncover secrets that rock the community, they become targets for the madman hiding in plain sight.

Morgan Dane is an interesting blend of femininity and ruthlessness. You just don't expect a woman in heels and pearls to come up with some of her defensive moves. Talk about a total kick ass heroine!
And when you pair her with Lance, who had originally planned on working as a PI until his leg fully healed from a gunshot wound, and you have a dynamic duo. And they are determined to find out just how killed Tessa as Morgan refuses to believe that Nick is the culprit.
Ms. Leigh is one of my
favorite authors in the thriller/romantic suspense genre and I do have
to say that she has come out with another winner. SAY
YOU'RE SORRY is a fast paced, tightly written suspense that kept me
glued to the screen until the satisfying conclusion. Filled with great
characters, witty dialogue and interesting puzzles, this is a must read
for fans of romantic suspense.
