The Assistant
Format:
Pre-order:
You say he harassed you.
They say you murdered him…
Maia has always kept her eyes firmly on the prize of her career, never allowing herself to be distracted by love. Then she meets Jacob. He is intelligent, charming, attractive. He also happens to be her boss.
For a while, they enjoy a whirlwind romance. Then things between them turn sour and she tries to end it, but he won’t leave her alone. She lodges a formal grievance, but the harassment only gets worse. Calls in the middle of the night; her precious work sabotaged. She decides to have it out for him once and for all.
The very next morning, he is found dead – and Maia is top of the list of suspects. Unless she can unravel the mystery of his murder, she’ll go to prison for the rest of her life.
But maybe, with his killer now on her trail, that’s where she’d be safest…
