Betrayal of the Trust
by Leslie Esdaile Banks

Description:

Filled with suspense, drama, and sensuality, this latest novel from Leslie Esdaile Banks features a brilliant beauty looking to take down a powerful dynasty with blood on its hands. It’s a tale that proves the only thing worse than a woman scorned is one who can make her enemies pay—and this woman intends to make them pay with everything they’ve got…

Darien Price, III, privileged son of a wealthy, black family, playboy, and executive director of Philadelphia’s prominent Educate America program, is in deep trouble. Extreme financial “inconsistencies” have been found in his business accounts—improprieties that suggest Darien has been making a healthy personal profit off the non-profit social program. And no one could be happier to hear the news than Laura J. Caldwell, a cinnamon-skinned rising star in the city’s white, male world of finance and philanthropy. But for Laura, the issue isn’t business. It’s quite personal. And it goes way back. The goal that had driven her through an Ivy League university to a career on Wall Street, and home again was finally within reach: bringing down the Price family.

Darien was a brother who made them all look bad, robbing from his own community. But beyond that, his family was to blame for a smear campaign that caused Laura’s father to commit suicide twenty years ago. Bill Caldwell had been a good man—and the Prices had taken advantage of that goodness in the worst way possible. As a result he lost everything…and his loved ones lost him. Laura can’t get him back. But she can get revenge. She’s got the brains, the skills—and the guts—to do it. And this time she’ll have the most powerful people in Philly on her side…
