RANDLE'S PRINCESS 2

Lia thought the worst was behind her.

After surviving a staged death, blackmail, and the discovery that the man she once married had only ever wanted her fortune, she finally chose Randle Malcolm-the powerful, ruthless attorney who had protected her since she was a girl. He loved her with a fierce, possessive devotion that once felt like a cage. Now it feels like the only safe place left in the world. She is pregnant with his son. They are days from their wedding. For the first time, the future looks clean.

Then the helicopter arrives.

On the afternoon of their wedding, an unmarked black aircraft descends over the mansion grounds. Randle shoves Lia out of the line of fire a second before the machine gun opens up. She holds him as he dies on the patio in his tuxedo, blood soaking her gown. Before the sirens arrive, she takes his gun and his holster and makes a vow in front of every man who worked for him: she will find the person who ordered the hit, and she will kill them.

Grief does not slow her. Neither does the pregnancy. Armed with Randle's final recorded message, his fortune, and the loyalty of the men who once answered only to him, Lia tears into the investigation. Burner phones. Shell companies. A charter helicopter out of Fredericksburg. Ties to Maxwell Mason's network and the man who faked his own death to blackmail Randle. Every thread leads somewhere darker, and every person she trusted begins to look like a suspect.

As the list of enemies narrows, Lia learns what Randle always knew-that loving him meant living inside a world of violence and calculated cruelty. Now she is no longer the woman who needs saving. She is the one holding the gun, making the calls, and deciding who lives long enough to talk. The man who ordered her husband's murder is still free. He thinks she is only a grieving widow. He is about to learn what it costs to take everything from Lia Malcolm.

Randle's Princess Two: Lia's Revenge is a dark, propulsive romantic thriller about the price of protection, the weight of a vow, and a woman who refuses to stay the princess after the king is dead.
