Privileged Information

She thought exposing one powerful man would end the danger. Instead, it revealed a conspiracy built to survive-and someone inside the system has already chosen its next target.

Sloane Ashford won the case that nearly cost her everything.

But the evidence left behind points beyond the executive she exposed to Richard Calloway-the calculating general counsel who placed the case in her hands and may have been controlling it from the beginning.

Before Sloane can uncover why, someone sabotages her car.

The attack could only have been carried out by a person with legitimate access.

Someone close enough to know where she would be.

Someone protected by the very systems meant to keep her safe.

Knox Sutton refuses to let history repeat itself. Determined to protect Sloane without taking away her choices, he begins tracing the breach through compromised credentials, shell companies, private contractors, and records connected to his own security firm.

What he finds is worse than a single corrupt corporation.

It is a network designed to conceal responsibility, replace anyone who becomes expendable, and keep operating no matter who gets exposed.

As Sloane and Knox follow the trail through courtroom battles, surveillance, buried payments, attempted murder, and betrayal from within institutions they once trusted, every answer reveals another layer of the structure surrounding them.

And Calloway may be the only person who knows how deep it goes.

But he is also a master of privileged information-revealing only what serves him, withholding whatever gives him power, and forcing Sloane to question whether she is closing in on the truth or being guided exactly where he wants her.

Sloane and Knox have already chosen each other.

Now they must learn whether their relationship can survive the secrets, fear, and protective instincts threatening to pull them apart. Because Knox is still holding back part of his past-and this time, the truth may cost him the woman he loves.

They are no longer hunting one man.

They are hunting a system.

And the system is fighting back.

Privileged Information is a gripping romantic suspense sequel featuring an established couple under pressure, a protective hero learning that love cannot become control, a formidable attorney heroine, corporate conspiracy, compromised institutions, hidden identities, betrayal, attempted murder, and a high-stakes romance in which trust may be the most dangerous vulnerability of all.
