Ferra Empire #3, Clean Romantic Suspense, Full-length Novel
*Series does not need to be read in order*
What do you do when the enemies don’t stay behind the screen?
In the high-stakes world of competitive video gaming, Ze Santana is more than just a player—he’s a crusader. Determined to make a difference in a digital landscape, Ze’s mission is to protect the vulnerable, especially children, from the predators behind the screen, but nothing he does is enough. They always seem to be one step ahead.
And one step ahead is something Madeleine Parker and her family can never achieve. When a handsome stranger bumps into her in the hotel swimming pool, her life becomes a wild ride that she never saw coming.
As the digital and real worlds collide, Madeleine and Ze discover the enemies in the shadows don’t stay behind the screen. They have goals and plans they’re willing to fight for, and even die for. The games are over, and there’s no extra lives to use in real life. All Ze and Madeleine can do is fight to survive, and the best weapon they have is that they’ll fight for each other.
If you love clean and sweet romantic suspense with a multicultural cast and a happy ending, this book is for you. It can be read as a standalone. But to get to know the Ferra family, read books 1 & 2.
