No Gilt is a deliciously dark psychological thriller about power, deception, and the kind of evil that smiles sweetly as it steals everything you have.

Based on true events.

Michelle gave everything to the law, and it gave her nothing in return. Passed over for the partnership she deserved, she sheds the shackles of hard work and integrity, embracing a far more rewarding skillset—manipulation, seduction, and deception. With a honeyed voice and a dagger behind her smile, she blackmails an old colleague, relishing how easily people crumble under the weight of their own secrets. But that’s just the beginning.

Her next mark is Bill, a successful businessman trapped in a faltering marriage. With practiced charm, she slides seamlessly into his life, whispering just the right words to turn his doubts into certainties. His wife, Sarah, fights to keep their twenty-year marriage alive, but how can she compete with a woman who knows exactly how to make a man feel young, powerful, and adored? As Bill falls deeper under Michelle’s spell, his wealth slowly trickles into her perfectly manicured hands.

But love was never part of Michelle’s plan. When Bill stubbornly refuses to let go, she accelerates his fate, tightening her grip on his medication and guiding him toward a tragic, seemingly natural end. It’s the perfect crime—one she’s ready to repeat.

Sarah and her daughter, Morgan, are left devastated, powerless against a woman who moves through life like a specter, untouchable and unrepentant. But Bill’s final, secret message reveals the one truth Michelle never counted on—his love for Sarah never truly died.

As Michelle sets her sights on her next conquest, one question remains: can a woman who believes she’s untouchable ever be caught?
