Trusted Lies (Paperback)

Paperback. They built an empire from their pain--now it's under siege. Welcome to the world of Battle Scars, an exclusive collective of divorced women who've turned their pain into power as successful businesswomen. But when new member Veronica St. James faces a terrifying home invasion and ominous threats, the group's solidarity is put to the ultimate test. Initially skeptical, Detective Rachel Ryder's instincts kick into high gear when one of the Battle Scars women is found murdered in her own home. As panic spreads through the group, long-held secrets begin to surface, and trust becomes a luxury that no one can afford. With her veteran partner Rob Bishop by her side, Rachel races to connect the dots before the killer strikes again. But in a world where success breeds envy and empowerment has a price, the list of suspects seems endless. Ex-husbands with grudges, rejected applicants with scores to settle, and rival businesses with everything to gain--everyone's a potential threat. Rachel must race against time to uncover the truth before the scars they've survived split open into deadly wounds.
