Sleight of Hand [Show 'em Who's Boss #1]
Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win? We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals. (This was previously called Show 'em Who's Boss.)Complete

No one knew it, not even Aisha, who had been swept into the mystery that night. She came in with a simple invitation, a promise of intrigue and excitement. But what lay ahead would change her life forever. As the night deepened, the games began. And once the game started, there was no turning back. No one could leave. No one could escape. Aisha's thoughts raced as she tried to make sense of the twisted messages, the cryptic riddles that seemed to lead her to something far more dangerous than she could ever imagine. The shadows in her life were closing in, and with every passing hour, they grew darker, more suffocating. Her husband, Yash, had no idea what was happening. He remained a figure of warmth in her cold, distant world, and now, she found herself entangled in a game that might just cost them both everything. The players were unknown. The rules, even more so. But one thing was certain-the game had just begun. And Aisha's choices would determine the fates of everyone involved. Would she unravel the mystery before it was too late? Or would the mask she wore for so long consume her entirely? In the shadows, someone watched. Someone waited. And in the end, no one would leave unscathedComplete
