Imagine you have the perfect life: money, position, influence, an enviable marriage. Then you awake in a hotel room - alone, unclothed, a splitting headache, and no idea how you got there. Welcome to Madeline's world...
Madeline Ridley had all she’d ever dreamed of: a handsome, successful husband, a place at the top of Santa Barbara society, every luxury money could buy. In all respects, her world was perfect…until one horrible night when everything unraveled.
When Steven Ridley comes home in the middle of a weekday and throws a sheaf of damning photos at her, Madeline’s comfortable world collapses in a swirl of blackmail, sabotage and deceit. Hoping to convince Steven of her innocence, Madeline drives to his office and unwittingly stumbles onto a scene that makes her realize who the real enemy is.
From that point on, Madeline Ridley deconstructs herself, reverting back to Madeline Dawkins in order to salvage what’s left of her life. In the process, she discovers where her true strengths lay, and with those, she steels herself for the battle of a lifetime. YOU'LL HATE TO PUT THIS ONE DOWN! D. Paugh Spouse Trap is the prequel to the Madeline Dawkins Mystery series.
