Book Release Calendar » Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston

Everyone at Chantilly’s Bar couldn’t take their eyes off Camille Bayliss, bold red lips, designer heels, and sipping a Negroni. But the woman turning heads isn’t Camille at all. It’s Aubrey Price.

From the outside, Camille seems to have everything: a wealthy Louisiana family, a glamorous lifestyle, and a charming husband, Ben Bayliss. Ben is a rising star in the legal world. But behind closed doors, Camille is terrified. She’s convinced Ben has been hiding secrets for years, yet she can’t prove it because he watches her every move and tracks her like she’s already guilty of something.

Aubrey, on the other hand, has spent the last decade haunted by the night that shattered her life. She believes Ben knows the truth about what happened, and she’s done waiting for answers. After years of surviving in a world filled with criminals, Aubrey knows exactly how dangerous people hide their secrets and how to expose them.

So when Aubrey and Camille cross paths, they strike a risky deal. The plan is simple: for twelve hours, Aubrey will pretend to be Camille while the real Camille secretly follows Ben, searching for proof. In exchange, Aubrey gets access to the one man she’s been hunting for years. But by morning, Ben is dead.

Now both women are trapped in a nightmare they never saw coming. They need perfect alibis, but only one of them has one. And as suspicion grows and lies tighten like a noose, Camille and Aubrey realize the truth they wanted may destroy them both because in a game built on deception, one mistake is all it takes for everything to fall apart.
