Love. Trust. Promises. Years ago, Elianna Cortez and Veronica Sokolov were inseparable-two girls who promised each other the world. But then, Veronica vanished, leaving Elianna heartbroken and confused. Now an ambitious, bright-eyed lawyer, Elianna is trapped in a picture-perfect nightmare. Her husband, Victor Volkov, heir to an old-money empire, is charming to the public but abusive behind closed doors. He promises change, but Elianna knows better. Still, she stays-for reasons even she doesn't fully understand. One night, she's assigned a high-profile case involving Sokolov International, a shadowy business empire. When she walks into the boardroom, she freezes. Veronica is there-alive, powerful, cold, and breathtaking. She never stopped watching Elianna. In fact, she's been pulling strings to get her back. But Veronica isn't the same girl she once knew. She's now ruthless behind a polished corporate façade. As Elianna's life unravels, Veronica offers her an escape-but it comes with a price: loyalty, submission, and a love that might be more possessive than protective.

PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.Complete

Ricochet (Excerpt - 5 chapters)
When Detective Sergeant Duncan Hatcher is summoned to the home of Judge Cato Laird in the middle of the night to investigate a fatal shooting, he knows discretion and kid-glove treatment will be key to staying in the judge’s good graces and keeping his job. It’s an open-and-shut case: Elise, the judge’s beautiful trophy wife, interrupted a burglary and killed the intruder in self-defense. Yet Duncan is suspicious of the beautiful woman’s story of innocence and his gut tells him her account of the shooting is only partially true. Determined to learn the dead man’s connection to the Lairds, Duncan investigates further but soon finds his career, and integrity, in jeopardy. Despite his suspicions, Duncan is increasingly drawn to Elise―even if she is a married woman, a proven liar, and a murder suspect. When Elise seeks Duncan out privately, he initially dismisses her incredible allegation as the manipulative lie of a guilty woman. But if she’s telling the truth, then that single fatal gunshot at her home takes on even more sinister significance, possibly involving Duncan’s nemesis, the brutal crime lord Robert Savich. And then Elise goes missing...Complete
Sitting Ducks
Everyone has a different view on life. For example, when you see someone dead, you never say they deserved it. Even if you hate their guts there are always tears on your behalf. That makes you weak. When I see a dead person, I'm either patting myself on the back saying good job, or thinking good riddance. That person was probably a criminal, or some dirtbag that was on a list. If you're a target, you're on one too. Elise is a murderer simple as that. She’s killed, many people, and by the time you know about her, you’re six feet under. When a corporation aimed at the justice of criminals comes after her, she has no choice but to flee. Elise has always been one to fight, but not anymore. Running around in circles, Elise trusts the wrong and right people, and turns herself into something she can't afford to be. A sitting duck. Cover by JaneSilver16Complete
