Lovers' Secrets and Revenge is a crime mystery romance novel by Elizabeth Upton. It's been ten years since John Callahan had last seen his grandmother, Annabella O'Sullivan. Upon a visit to her sprawling estate in Dublin, Ireland, John is delivered a striking blow when his grandmother dies and he is her sole heir. His grandmother's death and the unexpected murder of an employee force him to hire private security guards for himself and Morgan Gallagher, Annabella's lover. Additionally, his recently inherited estate has a break-in by an armed man. Meanwhile, John starts falling for an Irish woman named Sara O'Boyle. But when one of his own employees becomes his stalker, John must find a way to protect himself and his loved ones. Who is the killer? Is John's life in danger?

An absorbing murder mystery filled with romance, suspense, and intrigue, Lovers' Secrets and Revenge is a cozy book to spend your evening with. Author Elizabeth Upton spins an intricate yarn full of dramatic moments that have you eagerly turning the pages in anticipation of what's going to happen next. The narrative will especially appeal to fans of telenovelas or soap operas, with the constant twists and turns of the plot leaving you asking for more.
