Naomi Rose worked her ass off to get to the top of the social food chain. Between a sexist system, gun violence, the cops, and family problems, it was never going to be an easy climb to the top. But when her career gets forcibly put on hold, Naomi thought this would be rock bottom. Little did she know, she could only go lower.
The caring and welcoming detective, Jaxon DuPont, could only make one thing clear. She was his white whale and she needed to be put away. A knock at his door one night changed his mind about everything he had known about his case against the infamous Rose.
Now her whole life is shattered and she has lost everything except the one thing keeping her head above water. With an unlikely partner on her side, and Jaxon's colleagues breathing down their necks, Naomi realizes she might need him just as much as he needs her.

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.
