About this book

Some women mourn. Victoria celebrates. Six husbands. One funeral after another. But no one suspects the beautiful psychologist with the tragic past— until her latest husband vanishes from a cruise ship deck without a trace. He was dying. He just didn’t die fast enough. Now Victoria’s picture-perfect life is unraveling. Someone knows the truth. Someone wants her to suffer. And someone is about to make sure the Black Widow finally gets caught in her own web. This time, she’s not the only one planning a burial at sea. Love doesn’t conquer all. Sometimes, it kills.
