Chief Laurent

Grace Ellis spent her entire life without a father.
He disappeared before she was born, leaving behind nothing except rumors, resentment, and unanswered questions.

So when news of his death reaches her years later, she grieves someone she never truly had for the second time. She thinks that will finally be the end of the story.

She's wrong.

Three weeks later, the FBI raids the apartment of the man she's secretly been involved with for years - uncovering something horrifying hidden beneath his perfect life.

Overnight, Grace goes from a normal university student to sitting handcuffed in interrogation rooms answering questions about trafficking, missing people, hidden medical records, and things she never thought could exist so close to her life.

And through all of it, there's Duke Laurent.

The dangerously calm FBI chief who watches her too closely.
The man who keeps protecting her when he shouldn't.
The man who always seems to know more than he says.

As Grace gets pulled deeper into an investigation filled with secrets no one wants exposed, one terrifying truth becomes impossible to ignore:

everyone around her is lying.

Especially him.
