A Sheep in Wolf's Clothing (Paperback)

PREORDER - LAUNCHING JUNE 17, 2026

Mary Alice Warren is a liar.

She lies about her name.
Her past.
Her scars.
Even the things that were done to her.

But Mary Alice doesn’t lie for no reason—she lies to survive.

At Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, she becomes exactly who people need: the quiet listener, the trusted confidante, the woman who understands pain without ever sharing her own. She collects their stories, their secrets, their regrets… and wears them like skin.

It’s the perfect system—until Detective Thomas Corker walks in.

He watches too closely.
Asks the wrong questions.
And worst of all… he sees her.

As their connection deepens into something dangerous, Mary Alice’s carefully constructed life begins to fracture. The lies don’t line up. The past won’t stay buried. And the truth circling beneath the surface isn’t just something she’s just running from—

It’s something she’s buried … six feet deep.

Now, with a detective closing in and a past clawing its way to the surface, Mary Alice must decide:

Keep lying…
Or finally tell the truth—and risk losing everything.

Because some lies protect you.

And some prove you were never the victim to begin with.
