Perception is never reality.

Attorney Quinn Durand longs to escape her dull legal career in rural South Carolina. A whirlwind romance with Air Force Major Harrison Robicheaux offers the adventure she craves—until it turns into a nightmare. Upon arriving in Türkiye to start their new life, she learns Harris is dead, lost in a helicopter crash while fleeing charges of theft, conspiracy, and espionage. But no body was recovered, and Quinn refuses to accept his guilt—or his death.

Labeled an accomplice, Quinn is given a grim choice: recover the classified intel Harris stole or face imprisonment in Türkiye. Isolated in a foreign land and hunted by both American agents and Bulgarian criminals, she follows cryptic clues left by Harris, uncovering shocking betrayals, hidden identities, and a stolen EMP weapon poised for sale on the black market.

With the help of Arzu, a sharp-witted Turkish hacker, and an enigmatic Turkish National Police inspector, Quinn must untangle the truth while staying one step ahead of deadly adversaries. As the net tightens around her, she faces an impossible choice—trust the wrong person and die, or risk everything to take control of her own fate.

From the Mediterranean to Istanbul, The Expedient Wife is a pulse-pounding thriller of deception, survival, and a woman’s relentless fight for the truth.
