Say You’re Sorry

🔍 The Plot:

Morgan Dane once had it all—a successful career as a prosecutor, a devoted husband, and three beautiful daughters. But when tragedy strikes and her husband is killed while on duty overseas, Morgan’s world unravels. Now, back in her hometown of Scarlet Falls and struggling to rebuild her life, she’s preparing to return to the district attorney’s office. But fate has other plans.

Just days before she’s set to rejoin the legal system, the unthinkable happens: a teenage girl is found brutally murdered, and the prime suspect is none other than Nick, Morgan’s neighbor—and the boy she once babysat. Convinced of his innocence, Morgan puts her reputation and future on the line, abandoning her position as prosecutor to defend him.

With the help of private investigator Lance Kruger—a former cop with his own dark past—Morgan plunges headfirst into a case riddled with secrets, lies, and a killer who is determined to stay hidden. As they uncover shocking evidence and unearth long-buried truths, it becomes clear that someone in Scarlet Falls will do anything to protect themselves… even if it means killing again.

🧨 The Hook:

This isn’t just a legal thriller—it’s a fierce, emotional journey of a grieving woman rediscovering her strength through a fight for justice. Morgan Dane isn’t looking for redemption—she’s demanding it, and she won’t stop until the truth comes to light.

Set in a town where everyone knows each other—but no one really tells the truth — Say You’re Sorry delivers a powerful punch of courtroom drama, relentless investigation, and the vulnerability of starting over while the world watches you closely. The deeper Morgan digs, the more dangerous the game becomes… and the killer is always one step ahead.
