It was a novel What You Did by Claire McGowan, which also has a nice name, albeit an inferior one to The Wife Between Us.

A Million for Eleanor by Danil Rudoy
It may require a leap of imagination to call Danil Rudoy’s book a psychological thriller, but don’t let the limits of the genre stand in the way of your fictional experiences.

And how about one million dollars being offered for the heroine’s consent to marry the hero? Wouldn’t that be enough to send a thrill through a fair lady’s heart? Read Danil Rudoy’s novel and find the answer.
