Roses in the Scars

Her father's betrayal ruined Jeri Snider's family. She abandons wealth and vanishes, only to be rescued by struggling entrepreneur Clayton Lynn. In secret she helps build his empire, then he betrays her—rising to power and sleeping with her relative July. July exposes Jeri and engineers an assault. A mysterious tycoon, Craig Lawson, suddenly intervenes. He once loved Jeri; she left him without explanation. His swift return and offered protection feel calculated. Is this love or another trap? Surrounded by allies turned enemies, Jeri must unravel layered betrayals, outmaneuver Clayton, July, and Craig, and decide whether trust can survive—or if survival means outwitting them all.
