#SandyBottom : A Legal Crime Thriller with a Slow-Burn Romance - Alexi Venice

A public scandal detonates a prosecutor's career and relationship in this legal crime thriller with a slow-burn romance. Courtroom fallout, small-town refuge and the fight to rebuild a life under the media spotlight. When a private mistake becomes a public weapon, lives and careers fall apart. District Attorney Amanda Hawthorne has no one to blame but herself when an intimate photo from her past explodes across the internet. The fallout is immediate and devastating. Her career collapses. Her credibility evaporates. And her relationship with Dr. Jen Dawson shatters overnight. Humiliated and furious, Jen leaves San Francisco with their daughter, seeking refuge with her family in rural Wisconsin. Away from the city, the politics, and the constant danger, Jen begins to imagine a life that feels calmer, safer, and entirely her own. When an old acquaintance offers her something new and intoxicating, the distance between her and Amanda grows wider. Left behind, stripped of her authority and spiralling under the weight of addiction and regret, Amanda must confront who she is without the job that once defined her. As the consequences of the scandal continue to unfold, she realises that repairing the damage will require more than apologies or grand gestures. Because some betrayals do not fade quietly, and forgiveness is never guaranteed. #SandyBottom is the sixth book in The San Francisco Mystery Series, a legal and crime thriller where scandal destroys certainty, love is tested by distance, and the hardest fight is rebuilding what has been broken.
