Summary

Brooklyn Blatrix comes from a life of privilege being the heiress of the Blatrix Vacuum dynasty. The daughter of a devoted Catholic school teacher and an alcoholic, absentee father, Brooklyn has felt the weight of responsibility her entire life. With her degree in Funeral Services just within reach, a text from her boyfriend of six years ending their relationship was not what she expected. Then again, neither was getting fired from her job the same week. Determined to seek vengeance on her ex and his new girlfriend, Brooklyn sets up a fake social media profile to aid in her plan. However, by day, Brooklyn must start her new job as an intern at Macintosh Mortuary and Memorial Gardens.
Tall, dark, and quiet Brantley McAffey is not what Brooklyn expected from a funeral home director, but that is exactly what she got. Brantley understands Brooklyn, the pressures she feels, and he does it with an air of intrigue Brooklyn can't seem to stay away from. But, Brantley has a secret he's been keeping from everyone - a secret he's willing to kill for - and Brooklyn is about to find herself in the trenches of a trial by media before the year is over.
THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR'S WIFE is a dark, romantic thriller that takes a twisting story of a passionate, but deadly, relationship and mixes it in with the complexities and dangers of social media.
