Degrees of Deception (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346081821)

When journalism student Gina Thomas is passed over for a coveted assistantship in favor of her rival, Aiden Reilly, she's determined to prove she deserved the spot. But rivalry soon turns to reluctant partnership as Gina and Aiden begin investigating their university's Vice-Dean, Robert Beaumount, suspecting him of financial misconduct. What they uncover goes far deeper-and darker-than either could have imagined.

Beaumount's connection to the Front Line, a violent extremist group, shocks them both, but the consequences are worse. When their anonymous tip to the police backfires, they realize they're alone against an influential network willing to do anything to protect its secrets. Facing mounting threats, Gina and Aiden delve deeper, uncovering a scheme that stretches from their university campus to the halls of power. Each new discovery pulls them closer to exposing Beaumount's plan-and closer to each other, as trust and courage forge a bond they hadn't anticipated.

As Gina and Aiden navigate the dangers of investigative journalism, from covert meetings to midnight chases, their partnership becomes an anchor against the forces set on silencing them. Together, they gather damning evidence, but with the threat of violence looming closer, they face a choice: back down and stay safe or risk everything to bring the truth to light.

When a mysterious informant reveals a final chilling detail-a plot involving a devastating attack on New York City-the stakes reach a life-or-death level. Gina and Aiden know that time is running out, and now it's not just about exposing corruption but stopping an act of terror that could alter countless lives. In a dangerous race against time, they put everything on the line, knowing that failure could mean not just their own deaths but a brutal betrayal of innocent people.

Fast-paced, suspenseful, and layered with romance, Degrees of Deception is a gripping story of courage, truth, and the strength found in unexpected alliances. For fans of thrillers with a twist, this novel explores the dark side of power and the cost of integrity, asking: How far would you go to reveal a truth the world is desperate to ignore?
