[True Lies 03] • True Peril

This Romantic Suspense Finalist in the Golden Leaf Contest immerses readers in a thrilling adventure where love and duty collide.

Trista Patterson ditches the glam life to tackle the world’s injustices head-on, diving into the chaos of global hotspots to champion the cause of the voiceless. She’s all about making a difference, but winds up on a drug cartel’s hit list and in a fake marriage with a guy she barely knows after a rescue mission goes sideways.

Enter Dane O’ former assassin turned undercover CIA operative. Trading bullets for boardroom battles, Dane thought he left his old life behind until his promise to protect his sister’s friend, Trista, pulls him back into the dark corners he once vowed to leave. Falling for Trista? Easy. Keeping her alive? That’s where the real challenge kicks in.

Dane and Trista aren’t just trying to survive—they’re trying to change the world, one heart-pounding moment at a time.
