Betrayed by the Brakes

Émilie Beaumont believed the experimental luxury car was a gift from her devoted husband, Damien—a symbol of his success and their life together on the sun-drenched French Riviera. But when the brakes vanished on a sharp coastal cliff, the dream became a mangled wreck of blood and shattered glass. While Émilie lay paralyzed and fighting for every breath in a lonely ICU, her husband was nowhere to be found. But then, a horrifying secret surfaced: her crash wasn't a tragedy; it was a data point. She was the unwitting human test subject in a lethal experiment orchestrated by Damien and his mistress to secure a prestigious academic award. They left her for dead to collect their trophy, but they made one fatal mistake: they left her alive. Now, backed by a long-lost brother and a relentless lawyer from her past, Émilie is rising from the wreckage to ensure that for those who traded her life for a career, the real crash is only just beginning.
