Blame Aphrodite

It was just a crush. That's what Alice Rodriguez told herself the first time she locked eyes with Odeta De Mornay. Just a crush, like the kind she had taught herself to suppress. Alice was a successful lawyer and married, but as she approached 30, she felt lost. Something was missing. Or rather, someone was missing. Alice soon finds herself helping Odeta, whose brother is in prison for a murder that she swears he didn't commit. Alice takes the case, if only to spend more time with Odeta and sort through her feelings. But Alice has always kept her true feelings a secret. And Odeta has secrets of her own. When their investigation takes Alice and Odeta to a small town, they unearth lies that have been kept secret for years. But they also learn that sometimes the hardest lies to expose are those we tell ourselves.
