Shattered Harmony
(2027)(The third book in the Pen and Dagger series)
A novel by Traci Hunter Abramson
A Broadway star and a hidden prodigy are swept into a deadly financial plot, where the opening act could be their last.
Aliyah Jackson has escaped to Manhattan, finally free from her abusive father and brother. Relieved to be working as her cousin's assistant on a new Broadway production, she is determined to keep her head down to avoid family problems and do her job well. In her spare moments, she sneaks time at the piano. But she's never imagined that her own musical gift belongs on a stage--Broadway is for stars. She's just thankful for her cousin's couch to sleep on and a second chance.
Tyrone Brooks, a two-time Tony Award winner, recognizes extraordinary talent when he hears it. Though Aliyah dismisses her piano playing as nothing when Tyrone catches her composing alone, he knows her talent could transform the production. As rehearsals intensify and attraction sparks, Tyrone becomes more than Aliyah's leading man--he becomes her fiercest protector.
But trouble inside the theater runs deeper than domestic disputes. When suspicious investors pour money into the production, the show becomes entangled in a dangerous financial scheme. CIA operatives Kimber Seidel and Brandon Hale, working alongside the FBI, suspect the play is being used to funnel illicit payoffs to corrupt elites--and the operatives need the right people to take the bait.
As the investigation tightens and opening night approaches, Aliyah's and Tyrone's lives hang in the balance because someone behind the scenes is willing to silence anyone who threatens to expose the truth.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
