Two men. Two secret affairs. Two murders.
And in both cases, the secrets they thought they could control become the very things that put their lives—and the women they love—in danger.
ADDICTED
Doug Hampton has spent years keeping his life compartmentalized.
There is Clara, his wife of twenty years, and the comfortable life they have built together. There is his career and reputation. And then there is Wendy, the woman he secretly sees twice a week.
Doug has begun imagining a future with Wendy, but he believes he can keep their relationship separate from everything else.
Then he follows his boss.
Doug watches Harold Douglas enter an apartment with a young woman from the office. The next day, she is dead.
Doug knows what he saw. But going to the police would mean explaining why he was following Harold—and exposing his affair with Wendy.
Then Doug discovers that Wendy has a connection to Harold that he never could have imagined.
As the police search for answers and Harold fights to protect his own secrets, Doug finds himself trapped between what he knows about a murder and what he feels for the woman he wants to build a life with.
Coming forward could destroy everything.
Staying silent could let a killer walk free.
Doug has spent his life keeping things separate.
Now he has to decide which part of his life he is willing to lose.
NO SAFE EXIT
Philip Hansen thought his affair with Barbara Teager was the one part of his life he could keep separate from his marriage.
Then Barbara calls him late one night, terrified that someone is trying to get into her house.
When Philip arrives, he finds her dead.
Now the police have questions. Philip was at Barbara’s home when she was murdered, his fingerprints are at the scene, and his secret relationship with the victim makes him the obvious suspect.
Desperate to clear his name, Philip investigates Barbara’s life and discovers something far more dangerous than an affair.
Barbara had secrets on powerful men—and she knew how to use those secrets to control them.
One name keeps appearing: Sander Feldman.
The deeper Philip digs, the more he realizes Sander isn’t simply another man Barbara manipulated. He’s someone people disappear around. Someone who knows how to make problems vanish.
And now Sander knows Philip is investigating him.
As threats close in and Philip’s marriage begins to collapse under the weight of his lies, Philip faces an impossible choice: stop digging and let a killer walk free, or keep searching for the truth and put the woman he loves in the crosshairs.
Because Philip thought the danger was finding the man who killed Barbara.
He was wrong.
The real danger is making that man notice you.
QUIET PRESSURE THRILLERS: SECRETS AND LIES is a two-book collection of dark psychological thrillers about infidelity, murder, blackmail, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of secrets that refuse to stay hidden.
