Collateral — De'Nesha Diamond

Within D.C.'s ruthless halls of power, the conspiracies are killer -- and the endgame is anything but fake news . . .

With her name finally cleared of a murder charge, Abrianna Parker can at last marry her partner and ex-felon, Kadir Kahlifa. But disturbing dark-web information and gut feelings warn her that Kadir's twin brother, Bassim, is not who he pretends to be. As Adrianna snoops behind her future brother-in-law, she confronts questions with no answers -- and lies as dangerous as the unexpected attraction igniting between her and her formidable suspect . . .

With a brutal Presidential election roiling Capitol Hill and Kadir on the trail of a powerful private security firm, Abrianna puts the insider Washington game board in play. But a shattering event sends the country reeling -- and sets a target on her back. Now she and Kadir must unite with shadowy federal agencies and their group of street rebels and digital revolutionaries to expose the truth. But the clock is ticking fast towards an even greater disaster -- one that will spare no one.
