Ruthless

A pulse-pounding thriller from bestselling author Alex Kane. Perfect for the fans of Martina Cole and Kimberley Chambers

Some friendships don’t save you. They destroy you.

Beth is running from her violent ex, trying to build a new life – but she can’t shake the feeling she’s being followed.

Victoria is trapped in a controlling marriage to Greg, a man who cheats and tightens his grip every day. With nowhere left to turn, she reaches out to an old friend she once trusted with everything.

Lydia knows exactly what Greg is – and what needs to be done about him. But pulling Victoria back into her world of debt, loyalty, and violence comes at a price.

When Lydia crosses paths with Beth, their lives collide in ways none of them can control. In their world, trust is rare, secrets are lethal, and revenge always leaves someone paying the price.
