Corruption and Betrayal: Love, betrayal, and survival in a deadly game of power
About this audiobook
Some debts can only be paid in blood.
Rowan Langford thought the worst was over after her husband's corruption scandal tore their world apart. Forced into hiding with her family in a remote Catskills cabin, she must navigate a suffocating new reality where Greg's immunity as a state witness offers little protection, and Cole Harlan's criminal ties loom like a shadow over their fragile existence.
When Preston Kade arrives demanding payment for old scores, Rowan realizes her children have become collateral. To save them, she must unearth the Hale Files—explosive documents that could bring down the city's most powerful elite.
As old flames reignite and new dangers emerge, Rowan is forced to choose between redemption and desire. Every decision carries deadly consequences in this dark, sensual thriller where survival means playing a dangerous game of extortion, betrayal, and forbidden passion.
Perfect for readers who crave intensity, suspense, and the thrill of second chances.
