Strange Shape of Love

Buried secrets, a past she can't outrun, and one threat that could destroy everything. Charlotte Cooper thought she'd finally rebuilt her life. A new reporting job. A home in London. A second chance with the man she loved and lost. Then an anonymous envelope arrives-five explicit photos from her past and a threat that could destroy everything. She has two weeks to uncover who's blackmailing her... or watch her career, her reputation, and her future go up in flames. As Charlotte races to identify the sender, she's pulled back into a night she's avoided for years: a reckless summer, a tragic accident, and the powerful men who benefited from her silence. Each clue tightens the trap, forcing her to confront long-buried truths, toxic power dynamics, and a world where wealth and influence hide darker crimes. With danger closing in and no one she can fully trust, Charlotte must choose between protecting the life she's built in London, or risk everything to stop the person determined to bring her down.
