The Decoy

The Decoy
Some secrets are deadly. Some loyalties are a trap.
Lacy Whispertyne thought she was finally finding her footing. After months of walking on eggshells around Jacob's volatile ex‑wife Karen, things between them felt steady - a real future, maybe, if they could just stay out of Karen's crossfire. But when a seemingly innocent accident in the warehouse leaves Lacy seriously hurt, she realises too late: it was no accident. Someone is trying to silence her. And they're willing to destroy anyone who gets in their way.
Jacob swears he's choosing her. He says he's done letting Karen call the shots. But old habits run deep, and the ties that bind him to his past are woven with guilt, fear, and the children they share. When he's pulled away time and again, Lacy finds herself leaning more on Dominic - the quiet, steady warehouse manager who saw the danger coming long before anyone else, and who refuses to let her face it alone.
As the threats escalate and lies unravel, Lacy is caught between two men who care for her - one bound by duty, one driven by devotion - and a woman who will burn everything down to keep what she claims is hers. What starts as intimidation turns to conspiracy, and Lacy realises she's never been the target at all.
