My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Daxton let out a dry laugh and pulled out his phone. He swiped to a surveillance clip and held it up. “This footage was taken a few days ago outside Lise’s house. That man—the one who attacked Carrie—was seen leaving her place. Conveniently, every camera in her neighborhood malfunctioned that day, except for this one on a street nearby.”
