About the book
Jane Barrow believed that her main concern was maintaining her cleaning business and taking care of her two children as a single mother in the small town of Alma, Kansas. However, everything changed when the influential A.E. Miller Group came to town with plans to construct a high-end resort. Jane soon uncovered the ruthless tactics these developers were willing to use - including blackmail, threats, and intimidation - to achieve their goals. A mysterious lawyer named George Jackson presented Jane with evidence that the development company was coercing locals into selling their properties against their will. Determined to protect her community, Jane delved into a perilous investigation, revealing a web of corruption that went deeper than she had ever anticipated. As Jane delved further into the case, she caught the attention of Charlie Booker, a menacing enforcer who stalked her every move and posed a threat to her family. Supported by her boyfriend Mike, a Kansas State Trooper, and an unexpected ally within the company, Jane embarked on a mission to gather proof and uncover the truth before more innocent families lost their homes. However, as Jane approached the truth, her situation grew increasingly perilous. When the developers targeted her directly, Jane realized that she might be the only one capable of halting their plans - even if it meant putting everything on the line.
