The Widow's Game
Some women collect recipes. Chloe Sterling collects versions of herself. The world believes Chloe is a victim-a beautiful, tragic widow twice over. But beneath the facade of fragile sorrow is a cold, calculating mind, an architect of elaborate, flawless lies. Her second husband, David, was murdered in a staged break-in; her lover, Mark, was convinced to eliminate him before being neatly disposed of as a guilt-ridden suicide. Now, Chloe is free, sitting in her multi-million pound house, ready for her final victory. But two new players have entered the board: Detective Maria Rossi, a tenacious bloodhound who sees through the victim narrative and suspects the "accidents" are too tidy. A mysterious blackmailer named "Silent_Witness87," a next-door neighbor who possesses terrifying photographic evidence that places Chloe at the scene of the crime. As Chloe races to eliminate the blackmail threat by making her neighbor the chief suspect in her lover's death, Detective Rossi closes in, following a forensic trail that threatens to expose Chloe's full, deadly history, including the "accidental" death of her first husband, James. In a game where every player is a carefully manipulated pawn, Chloe must fight to protect her masterpiece, learning that the most dangerous secrets are always buried beneath the most pristine surfaces.

The 21st Juror
Charlotte Reed, a brilliant defense attorney with a perfect winning record, lives by one rule: guilt is an emotion, and the law deals only in evidence. Her meticulously ordered world is shattered when she takes the case of Senator Marcus David Gray, the magnetic frontrunner for the U.S. Presidency, who is charged with the cold-blooded murder of his Chief of Staff. The evidence is overwhelming, but Charlotte's gut tells her the Senator is innocent of the murder-but deeply complicit in a terrifying, hidden plot. Her suspicion is confirmed by two explosive facts: An anonymous warning points to Townhome 21-a shadow operative base next door. A frantic whisper from her vanishing partner reveals a massive, untraceable wire transfer to a foreign shell company linked to political espionage. Now, Charlotte must form a reckless, illegal alliance with Detective Anne Austin, the lead investigator who is simultaneously hunting the real killer and running from a professional clean-up crew. As the evidence of a staged murder and a sophisticated foreign insertion plot mounts, Charlotte realizes the Judge presiding over the case, Joseph Lomax, Sr., is compromised and actively steering the trial to protect the conspirators. Caught in a race against a global network, Charlotte must risk her life, her career, and her perfect record to break the Judge, expose the treason, and win a high-stakes battle where legal ethics must yield to moral necessity. The fight for the truth is no longer a search for a verdict-it's a war against a shadow political network that has installed its own 21st Juror to silence the rule of law.
