Zealous Ruin: Two Marriages, One Affair - A Morally Gray Romantic Suspense

They're both married. That should have been enough to stop them.

Simone Delacroix comes to Chicago to find out who breached Morrison Capital before it goes public. Two days in, she has a suspect list and a problem she didn't budget for. Alex Morrison spent twelve years building the firm, and he's powerful, controlled, and eight years into a marriage that works perfectly well on paper. Simone has a husband waiting in New York.

Neither of them is looking for an affair. They have one anyway. It takes less than a week, and neither of them has the decency to be surprised.

While the trail keeps leading deeper inside his own company, Charlotte Morrison has started asking questions of her own. She knows her husband has changed. She doesn't confront him. She watches, and she waits.

And Charlotte is very good at waiting.

By the time the breach turns into something with a criminal statute attached to it, Simone has crossed lines she can't uncross and Alex has worked out exactly how much he stands to lose.

Two marriages. One affair. Millions at stake.

Somebody is going to pay for this. It might be everyone.

Content notes: infidelity by both main characters, explicit sex, surveillance, corporate crime, and two adults making bad decisions on purpose. No misunderstanding, no redemption arc where it turns out to be fine. They know. They do it anyway.
