Red Scorpion
PUBLISHED 09/04/26
Rafa Fernandez was always crystal clear about one thing; hell would freeze over before he was dragged into the dirty business that made his father one of the richest and most powerful criminal bosses in the world. But now his father is dead, hell has indeed frozen over and, whether he likes it or not, his father’s billions are his. Unfortunately, the old man’s rivals have an eye not just on the drugs’ business but the other assets too. Soon his family is under threat: his sister has been kidnapped, and his wife and son living in fear. If they, and he, are to survive, he must become the master of his father’s world. Dr Laura Strong also has dark secrets. When Rafa offers her the chance to transform her finances, she has no choice but to say yes. As a reluctant drug dealer and a damaged doctor are pushed together by an increasingly brutal series of events, the question is simple; can either of them survive? And, if so, how?

Life for Dr Laura Strong shouldn't be this hard. Nights working thankless A&E shifts. A much-loved handicapped brother to look after. Loan sharks at her door. She needs a miracle to stop her life collapsing around her.
The arrival of South American coffee magnate Rafael Fernandez appears to be the answer to her prayers. A devoted father with a sick son requiring a 24/7 care, he is prepared to pay any price for expertise he can trust.
But if something appears to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Behind the façade of Rafa's gilded existence lies a dark family history which he has been doing his best to avoid - until the death of his estranged father brings it crashing back into his - and Laura's - world.
What had at first seemed to be a remarkable escape from an impossible situation now threatens to destroy everything Laura cares about. Friendless and far from home, she must rely on her own instincts to find a way out of this terrifying new landscape. Sometimes it's easier to trust the devil you know?
