The Last Leverage
Elena Bentley built her empire on secrets.
When she falls from her penthouse balcony, the city calls it suicide. The powerful call it relief.
Shay Donovan Bentley calls it murder.
Raised in the shadows of her aunt’s ruthless media dynasty, Shay knows exactly what Elena kept hidden—a ledger capable of destroying senators, CEOs, and one of the most untouchable families in the country. Now the same men who buried the truth decades ago are hunting her.
Detective Steele Kingsley-Hayes was born into that world of privilege and power. He should be her enemy. He should be the last man she trusts.
Instead, he becomes the only man willing to burn it down with her.
As anonymous exposés ignite federal investigations and elite empires begin to crack, Shay and Steele are pulled into a war fueled by blackmail, betrayal, and a past soaked in blood. But the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their connection becomes.
Because loving a Kingsley-Hayes might cost Shay everything.
And the men she’s exposing won’t hesitate to kill again to protect their legacy.
Some secrets are worth fortunes.
Some are worth murder.
And Shay holds the last leverage.
