The Graceful Strike ( Now Available on Kobo and Selar )

Everyone believed Solène Crawford was just a quiet, virtuous wife the woman who stood behind her husband's success and asked for nothing in return.

At a Thanksgiving dinner meant to celebrate family, Solène's marriage explodes when Lewis Crawford parades his pregnant mistress before relatives and friends who had feasted on her sacrifices for fifteen years. A medical report has already declared her infertile. Lewis demands she accept the child with "grace."

She doesn't scream. She doesn't cry. She smiles because she has held his entire empire in the palm of her hand since the day she built it.
What begins as a calculated dismantling of the man who discarded her spirals into deeper betrayals from the very people she once protected. Old allies turn, secrets surface, and an unexpected obstacle forces her to choose between total destruction and something far more dangerous: trust.

In the wreckage, Solène discovers the woman she was always meant to be brilliant, unbreakable, and finally free. Some men are lifted up. Others are allowed to fall. Lewis Crawford is about to learn which one he was.
