Still Waters

by J.V. Osborne

Chad was a simple guy—a family man, hardworking, dedicated. Molly? Not so much. After 18 years of marriage, she strays into the arms of her late sister's husband, made wealthy from the wrongful death settlement. As his married life unravels, dark revelations expose sinister secrets, and he begins questioning everything about their relationship, including the paternity of his children. One thing is sure—he is done.

Then, when he’s about to file the papers, he wins the Powerball jackpot!

Of all the rotten luck!

Cover-to-cover action filled with betrayal, deception, murder, tragedy, courtroom drama, and vengeance—offset with new beginnings, hope, resilience, a Caribbean adventure, and a spicy throuple romance.

Trigger warnings: profanity, vulgar language, graphic gun violence, death, trauma, and descriptive polygamous sex.
