Game Set Betrayal - Doubles Was Their Game—Until One Played Solo

J. K. Maddox

Summary

They were tennis prodigies. Global icons. A duo that moved on court like two halves of the same heartbeat. Cameron Wilde and Theo Archer—flawless partners, once inseparable in strategy, spirit, and something deeper neither dared name. But behind the sponsorships and perfect win-loss ratios, cracks were forming.
 
When Theo begins pulling away—skipping practice, rewriting signals, playing the game his own way—Cameron is left chasing shadows. The tighter he holds on, the more Theo slips through his fingers. Their bond, once sacred, now plays out like a set on the edge of collapse.
 
As secrets surface and old promises unravel, Cameron begins to question not just Theo’s loyalty—but his own memory. Were they ever truly playing the same match? Or has he been competing alone far longer than he realized?
 
In a world where every movement is calculated, every glance a signal, betrayal can be as subtle as a missed shot… or as brutal as a serve to the heart.
 
What happens when the greatest opponent
 
is the partner you can no longer trust?

What She Doesn't Know

Pamela Crane

When her estranged husband shows up on her doorstep, Ginger Mallowan thinks she's finally getting her happily ever after…until he disappears and a deadly threat surfaces.

Rick Mallowan had never been the type of father to play catch with his sons. Or the kind of husband to stick around. But when he shows up begging for another chance to win Ginger's long-retired heart, she can't deny her first love. He's proven he's a changed man, and it feels like a dream come true. But a nightmare begins when he vanishes and someone is seeking revenge.
Unlike Rick's previous disappearing acts, this time he leaves behind a trail of terrifying clues: 
Cryptic notes exposing secrets that put a target on her back.
Bullets aimed at her in a deadly warning.
Someone close to her abducted without a trace.
Despite the missing years and unanswered questions, nothing can scare Ginger away from digging into the past to catch a killer… even if it costs her heart breaking all over again. As the search dredges up traumatic memories along with shocking clues from the 1970s, will flower power be enough to uncover The Who behind the death threats?

While the truth might be dangerous, what she doesn't know might kill her.
