Jody
The Properties of Love Series, Book 3
By Tessa Vidal
In a world of secrets and danger, their love is both their salvation and their downfall.
Jody Agnew, a young woman confined by the rigid beliefs of her devout Christian family, escapes to the vibrant streets of California, where she finds freedom and love in the captivating embrace of an older, magnetic woman.
Their love is electric, but it also becomes a gateway into a world Jody never imagined. Drawn into a clandestine realm of crime, she metamorphoses from a sheltered girl into a seasoned “bad girl,” navigating the treacherous corridors of drug smuggling.
Lilith Ashburne, with her allure and cunning, becomes both Jody’s mentor and obsession. But Lilith’s past ties to a Mexican drug cartel lead to an unintended confrontation with a DEA agent, changing everything. Now, Lilith sits behind bars, imprisoned for a crime she never intended, while Jody grapples with the consequences of her choices.
As their worlds collide and their futures hang in the balance, Jody and Lilith must confront their pasts, desires, and the unbreakable bond that ties them together. In a tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, they navigate the fine line between ambition and downfall, where the pursuit of freedom may cost more than they ever imagined.
Jody is the third book in the Properties Of Love series and may be read as a standalone novel.
