Mother's Threat, The

Betrayed from within. Attacked from all sides. Can she avoid heartbreak and stop all who are intent on her destruction?

Violet Cleveland’s mind is running on high alert. Used to tough challenges, the ex-covert-ops leader worries about keeping her unstable hippie mom in line while opening a security business. And just as she lands a make-or-break protection detail, her parent’s evasive comments about an upcoming trip trigger a loud alarm bell.

Discovering that her inaugural job is tangled up in emotionally charged protests, Violet reaches out to the authorities for aid, only to be curtly dismissed as a fearmonger. And she’s horrified when an anonymous tip to the source of the threats leads her to witness her own mom doxxing her to a potential lynch mob.

Determined to hold her ground, will she burn her last bridge home?
