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

J. K. Maddox

Sinopse

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?

She Knows Too Much

Pamela Crane

Best friends Tara, Ginger, and Sloane should not have gone on that walk.
If they hadn't, they would not have found a body too decomposed to identify. And they would not have become suspects in his death.
All three women share a disturbing connection to the murder. The whole town knows about the bad blood between Tara and the victim. And rumor has it Ginger may have been romantically involved. But only Sloane knows her dark secret that she wishes would disappear…and which she's buried as deep as his body.
Searching for answers, Tara comes across cassette tapes that unravel a horrifying chain of events. But that's not the worst of it:
The final tape is linked to Sloane.
And Sloane may not be as innocent as she seems.
As the tapes take them back to the 1990s, not even the Girl Power of the Spice Girls can prove their innocence, no matter how much they wannabe free from suspicion.
One of them knows too much…and someone will kill to hide the truth.
