Compromising Secrets

When the police can’t solve her father’s murder, cybersecurity expert Silken Thorne starts her own investigation. But she’s unprepared for the one lead that will give her the identity of the killer.

Harrison Campbell made a promise. Now his mother is dead.
His father is in a coma, and his brother is missing. To protect his family’s legacy, he must fight an anonymous hacker with extortion demands. But he will never pay. He will do anything, even if it means turning to the beautiful Silken Thorne, the CSE expert who penetrated their servers, investigated their business, and later recommended that the government monitor their network activity.

Working together to uncover the anonymous cybercriminal’s identity, more than servers are probed, more than secrets are exposed, and the truth seems locked away in a tightly woven web of betrayal.

I didn’t want it to end!

A page turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Immediately immersed in the story, the author kept me wanting to know more as the present and past timelines of the story unfolded. Relatable and down to earth characters had me rooting for love to conquer all. The perfect read for a rainy afternoon.

Seriously a must-read.

I was held captive from the beginning to the (to soon) end…. Left me wanting more. The attention to details in her writing style allows me to experience the emotions of the characters. Seriously a must-read. Look out for more from this Author.
- Yvette

Excellent read

I really enjoyed this novel. The suspensful story line kept you engaged. I love the fact that it is set in Canada. It was nice to be able to identify with the Canadian references. I like how the author worked the story about 2 lovers who found their way back to each other after several years. I would definitely recommend this book to others. 2 thumbs up!

Meet the author

Hi, I’m Angela Applewhite

Writer, travel addict, wine lover, natural health enthusiast

I’m an emerging indie author making a splash within the romantic suspense genre.

My stories provide equal parts love, comeuppance, passion, and danger, combined with non-fiction themes like betrayal, revenge, loss and justice played out in high-stakes, real world professions like forensic science, cyber crime, and
police procedural.

This is where kick-ass female heroines fall in love.

You’ll find strong female characters with complex personalities and badass jobs lighting up the pages.
Pair these ladies with my modern-day men, and
you’ll find yourself getting more invested in their love
as the tension builds.

If you’re ready to fall in love with characters, and experience the ultimate adventure in passion and intrigue, I’m so excited to share these stories with you.
