Escapade

Veronica Blume is a recently divorced 29-year-old woman who's down on her luck. She has a meaningless job and no real friends to turn to. Her only savior is her sister, who's happily married and busy raising her own family. Veronica feels isolated from happiness. Everything that represents her life is a disappointment...her job, a failed marriage, even the threat of another cold Michigan winter.
But fate takes a hand and Veronica's humdrum life changes instantly when she wins 11 million dollars from the Michigan Lottery. Realizing there is nothing left for her in Michigan, she hightails it to sunny California. Thereafter she arrives, she finds solace and even meets the man of her dreams. Shortly after happiness finds her, though, Veronica learns that someone is watching her, and that someone might want her dead. But who is it, and what do they want?
After hiring a private investigator, she feels even more threatened when he warns her to be on guard and to trust no one, not even her dear sister. Once again, it seems Veronica Blume is all alone.
