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—despite their prickly relationship. Morgan's life is starting to look like one of her scripts.Does Matt suspect her? Now a real-life killer is after her. And her time—like sand through an hourglass—is running out.

"I want to be Linda Palmer when I grow up. She has taken from her own past to create a mystery series in which a former wildlife photographer turned soap opera writer uses knowledge accrued while doing research for the soap to solve the murder of her boss. Great fun!"
— Brenda (4 out of 5 stars)
