Three tightly wound suspense novellas that explore betrayal, survival and the danger that can come from the people closest to you. Each story puts ordinary lives under extreme pressure and asks what a person will do to survive.

The collection shifts from international intrigue to domestic menace: a newlywed CIA operative forced into a 72-hour fight for justice, a tech executive who reacts to a failed deal with violent plans, and two schemers who find themselves entangled with organized crime.

Short, propulsive and plot-driven, these tales offer brisk pacing, moral friction and sharp twists—perfect for readers who prefer compact, high-stakes crime fiction.

• 3 Days to Live — A honeymoon turns into a countdown after a deadly poisoning.
• Women and Children First — A failed deal sparks a former soldier’s violent return to action.
• The Housekeepers — Two grifters clash with the Russian mob after a botched theft and murder.
