Description

Some dynasties are built on oil, others on lies.

The Mentor’s Daughter is a twisting psychological suspense thriller that blends heart, danger, and deception.

On a winter’s eve in Tulsa’s wealthiest enclave, oil magnate Jim Munro goes missing. His estranged daughter — brilliant, mercenary, and sociopathic by reputation — becomes his most unlikely lifeline.

But for Eli Scott, a compassionate but haunted oilman working through his past demons thanks to therapist Lizzy Beauregard, Jim is much more than a mentor; he is the man who saved him.

With Lizzy’s help, Eli must navigate the daughter’s labyrinth of lies to save his friend. When Eli unearths life-changing secrets at the heart of the ransom demand, he suspects the oil patriarch who once nearly destroyed him is pulling the strings.

Eli is forced to join the patriarch’s estranged daughter to pierce their dynasty’s dark heart. But the worlds they come from mix like oil and water, and they battle to find the blurred lines between trust and family, and healing and survival.

Now, trapped by a deadly choice that Eli never saw coming, he discovers that truth and lies are indistinguishable — and that making a choice between them will cost him everything.

The Mentor’s Daughter will appeal to readers who crave stories that pair adrenalin with deep psychological suspense. It’s a gripping story of crime, family betrayal, and unlikely alliances where nothing is as it seems. 

Some dynasties are built on oil, others on lies.

The Mentor’s Daughter is a twisting psychological suspense thriller that blends heart, danger, and deception.
