Watching Her Back

The Professional Passions Series, Book 5

By Sasha Simpson

Desire isn’t a crime — until it is.

A sapphic thriller of lust, lies, and the danger of looking too long.

Laura Levinson, a former police officer turned private investigator, is no stranger to the fine line between right and wrong. Haunted by her past and driven by an insatiable curiosity, she finds herself entrenched in the world of Silicon Valley’s elite as she surveils Grace Hendricks, the stunning wife of tech mogul Thomas Hendricks.

Hired to uncover an alleged affair, Laura’s voyeuristic obsession with Grace deepens as she gathers evidence, unaware that her client has dark motives of his own. As Laura navigates the tangled web of power dynamics, manipulation, and desire, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to unravel the lives of everyone involved.

As Laura and Grace face the fallout of their choices, they discover the true meaning of consent, agency, and the power of reclaiming your narrative. But in a world where data is currency and privacy is an illusion, Laura must decide what’s worth saving; her career, her conscience, or the woman who’s become her weakness.

High heat. High stakes. No safe distance.
