Okay, so this book, Betrayal, it’s about Clara. She had the perfect life, married to Julian, a big-shot diplomat, but—surprise—it was all a complete lie, a total façade.
Things start getting... weird. Julian’s secretive. She finally, finally cracks his hidden phone and, oh God, finds massive global corruption. Like, seriously dangerous stuff. She photographs the evidence and runs, realizing her home was a "gilded cage."
She has to partner with Daniel, this messy, slightly rough journalist, because no one else believes her. They uncover the main villain, Senator Thorne. The middle is just running, hiding, using her old embassy knowledge to stay alive.
Then the climax. She gets the final video proof, you know? And she does the craziest thing: walks right back into the big international Summit. She broadcasts the whole corruption confession live. Total chaos. Julian, Thorne—they're finished. Clara loses everything, yeah, the passport, the money... but she gets her freedom back. That's the real victory. Wow.
