Misdirection
In a race for power, the truth is the only thing she can’t control—and the one thing he can’t outrun.
State Senator Bennett Clay is running for the U.S. Senate to prove one thing: he isn’t his uncle. For years, he’s lived in the shadow of a political dynasty he no longer trusts, and now he’s determined to win this seat on his own merit. But breaking ties with the powerful Clay family is a dangerous gamble, and with the polls stalling, Bennett is running out of time to establish his own identity before his family’s reputation seals his fate.
Caroline Langford wants to be anywhere but Kentucky. A high-stakes political consultant with her sights set on a career-defining move in D.C., she views this assignment as a frustrating detour. Her plan is simple: get the stubborn Senator Clay into the lead, secure the win, and catch the first flight out of the state. She didn't account for a candidate who questions her every move—or the magnetic pull she feels every time they’re in the same room.
Clay family secrets run deep. As the election nears its breaking point, a decades-old cover-up begins to surface, putting Caroline in the path of a threat she never saw coming. To save her, Bennett must be willing to expose the secrets that could destroy his legacy. But as the scandal threatens to consume them both, Caroline must decide if the future she’s always chased is worth more than the man she was never supposed to love.
Interception
She’s falling for the coach who makes her feel safe. Her ex is determined to prove she isn’t.
Between the demands of her doctoral program and work as an associate professor, Sofia Flores has built a life too full for romance and too safe for the kind of heartbreak she barely survived once before. Love isn’t on her agenda.
Then she meets Boone Clay, a rising star on the university’s football coaching staff whose charm and sincerity break through defenses she thought were permanent. Their connection is instant, intense, and exactly what Sofia never meant to risk. But when Boone unknowingly crosses paths with the ex who shattered her life, one impulsive decision triggers a chain reaction, threatening both his career and Sofia’s hard-won stability.
Garrett Sheridan, a federal law-enforcement agent with a talent for bending rules, refuses to let Sofia move on. What is legal may not always be what’s right—Garrett excels at working the gray area between the two. As his manipulations escalate from invasive to dangerous, Sofia is forced to confront a past she wanted to keep buried.
To protect the woman he loves, Boone may have to risk the future he’s spent his life building. And Sofia must decide whether she’s finally ready to stop running before Garrett makes that choice for her.
