LAYERS OF OUR STORM

​Ten years ago, Melissa Aurora Jackson was a girl of simple dreams, a champion swimmer from a small town who believed that hard work and a scholarship to the prestigious Oaklyn Sanders University would be her family’s ticket out of poverty. She didn't know that she was merely a pawn in the cruel games of the Campbell family, the very people her father served as a loyal driver. To the Campbells, the world was a chessboard, and Melissa was a piece to be used, broken, and discarded. ​When a calculated frame-up involving planted drugs shattered her reputation and stole her future, Melissa was forced into a desperate exile in Korea. For years, the world believed she had vanished into the shadows of her own disgrace. They didn't see her working three jobs to survive, they didn't see her building a corporate empire from the ashes of her trauma, and they certainly didn't see the cold, calculating woman she was becoming. ​Now, the "Scholarship Girl" is gone. In her place stands a powerhouse with enough wealth to buy the very ground the Campbells walk on. ​But as Melissa returns to the States to reclaim her family and exact her price, she discovers that revenge is not a straight path. It is a labyrinth of buried secrets, where her father’s disappearance and the betrayal of those she loved are only the first few layers of a much darker storm. Caught between the unwavering loyalty of Jayden, her protector from Korea, the forbidden pull of Jordan Campbell, the one "good" soul in a wicked dynasty, and the complicated redemption of Rashel, the man who once spearheaded her misery, Melissa must decide if her heart can survive the vengeance she craves. ​In a world where every friendship has a price and every love is a battlefield, how many layers of the storm can one woman weather before she finally breaks, or finally wins?
