The Root Series

For sixteen years Carter Delaine has kept a secret. He operates in the shadows of a powerful Syndicate, but his only weakness is a woman who barely knows his name.

When that rule is broken Carter's enemies strike immediately. Anika Washington is snatched from her everyday life and thrown into a nightmare of isolation, brutal betrayals and psychological torture.

She is no longer just a bystander. She is the ultimate pawn in a terrifying game of control. Deeper Roots is a psychological thriller about power, manipulation and what it costs to survive a man's obsession. When the truth is finally unearthed, the roots run deeper than anyone feared.
