Sponsoring the Serpent

In the glass-walled luxury of West Vancouver’s British Properties, high-earning executive Julia Harrington believed she was crafting a success story. For six years, she sponsored Lucas Wright, a disadvantaged student from rural Squamish, providing him with a silver-platter life of tuition, housing, and endless support. But beneath the surface of Julia’s altruism lay a dangerous miscalculation, and beneath Lucas’s gratitude lurked a predatory sense of entitlement. When the mask of the "struggling student" slips to reveal a ruthless extortionist, Julia’s waterfront sanctuary transforms into a battlefield. Lucas and his family don't just want her charity anymore—they want her home, her reputation, and her life. They see a wealthy marksman; she sees a target. In a world where kindness is mistaken for weakness, Julia Harrington is about to prove that the most dangerous thing you can do is attempt to ruin a woman who has the skills to fight back and the cold-blooded resolve to watch you lose everything.
