Cole stole eighty thousand dollars from his wife's company and called it the Lindsay tax.

Because she never checks the sub-account. Because she's responsible. Because covering for everyone is the one thing Lindsay Steade has always done — and Cole looked at that and saw a margin he could bleed.

She got every cent back on paper. What she can't restructure is the two words.

So she's going to give them back to him.

Burning Cole down puts her own name in the blast radius, which means she needs a firewall — fast, and loud. And the one asset in this county that his ruin makes worth more is the rival he's spent ten years beating by half a stroke and a whisper campaign.

Beck Frye has wanted her for five years. He just needs to be sure it's her he wants, and not the trophy that finally beats Cole.

Cole taxed her.

She's foreclosing.

She's got five friends who've each already burned down the man who wronged them — and every one of them is still hunting the stranger who leaked the chat that started it all. Lindsay's about to hand them the closest look yet.

One leaked group chat. Six weddings in ruins. Six friends who stopped being nice.

The Never After Party — each book a complete standalone romance, all six tied to one question: who leaked the chat that blew up their lives, and why?

Book 5 of The Never After Party. Steamy standalone. Guaranteed HEA.
