Overkill, A 2022 Paperback Novel

Overkill By: Sandra Brown, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author First trade paperback edition 2023 Like New condition Coming from a smoke free, pet friendly home Former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Zach Bridger hasn't seen his ex-wife, Rebecca Pratt, for some time - not since their volatile marriage imploded - so he's shocked when he learns that Rebecca has been placed on life support after a violent assault, and he - despite their divorce - has medical power-of-attorney. Zach is asked to make an impossible choice: keep Rebecca on life support or take her off of it. Buckling under the weight of the responsibility, Zach ultimately walks away, letting Rebecca's parents have the final say. Four years later, Rebecca's attacker, Eban - the scion of a wealthy family in Atlanta - gets an early release from prison. The ludicrous miscarriage of justice reeks of favoritism, and Kate Lennon, a brilliant state prosecutor, is determined to put him back behind bars. Rebecca's parents have kept her alive all these years, but if her condition were to change - if she were to die - Eban could be retried on a new charge: murder. It isn't lost on Zach that in order for Eban to be charged with Rebecca's murder, Zach must be the one to kill her. He rejects Kate's legal standpoint but can't resist their ill-timed attraction to each other. Eban, having realized the jeopardy he's in, plots to make certain that neither Zach or Kate lives to see the death of Rebecca - and the end of his freedom
