A forensic auditor who stumbled onto a multibillion-dollar money laundering scheme linking the Sterling family to a private army, Isabella faked her own death to keep the crosshairs off Marcus's back. For five years, she has lived in the shadows, writing the decryption key that will finally bring her predators to justice. But when a botched extraction drops Marcus directly in front of her, the past violently collides with the present. To survive the lethal reach of his own family, Marcus must break every rule he was trained to follow. He will smuggle her across an ocean. He will declare war on his own blood. And he will systematically tear apart the Sterling empire to ensure she never has to run again. The Marcus Compromise is a high-octane, entirely cliché-free romantic suspense novel featuring a fiercely protective hero, a highly intelligent heroine, and an explosive climax that will keep you reading until the sun comes up.
