Hello ***
Lilah dreams of arguing cases before the supreme court. The chief justice himself will commend her knowledge, of course, and one day, she will be Justice Delilah Sheppard. Harry—her childhood sweetheart and the son of her father's business partner—is hell-bent on making the families' business into the "biggest, most bad-ass" oil company the world has ever seen, but Lilah wants no part of it. Then, the deaths of her parents and a traumatic abduction change the trajectory of their lives.
Through U.S Senator Temple, the man responsible for her rescue from the kidnappers, Lilah meets the Kingsleys. The family is powerful, with an actual supreme court justice as the patriarch and Senator Temple as their benefactor. Their relationships are murky, with warring cousins, murder attempts, and marriages to femme fatales. She finds herself as a pawn in the Kingsleys' plans to prop up their failing business empire. They pressure her to marry the heir, joining their companies in a de facto merger.
If she refuses, Harry's business will be destroyed, and she might end up dead. But if she agrees, she will lose Harry, and instead of being the highest arbitrator of justice in the land, she will become the boss of an illegal oil cartel bigger than OPEC.
Complete at 118,000 words, The Insurrection is a story which will take you across continents and through the tumultuous seventies and eighties. Sample pages are pasted below.
Sincerely,
Jay Perin
