The Age of Corruption ~ Paperback ~ Melanie R Ifield

An action and adventure novel with mystery and romance: introducing Fiona Page. Can she survive her own curiosity? At twenty nine, I hadn't grown up. I was still prone to chasing after those stronger than me: still prone to needing those stronger than me. Wanting to be with them to see if what they had could somehow rub off on me. Spending so much time admiring their strength and power, daydreaming over what it would be like to be like them. Which is why a few short weeks after meeting the latest champion, I found myself down south, watching as a man choked to death on his own blood, my new knife in his stomach. The only thing I could say in my defence was: I didn't kill him. I swear I didn't do it. I hardly knew the man. Well, unless you count the fact he kidnapped me only five days before... Fiona Page likes to party. In fact, life is one big party, with shopping thrown in as an added bonus. If it's alcoholic, fattening, covered in 'bling' and preferably to the accompaniment of loud music, she's there. Why not, she reasons, when you inherited staggering amounts of cash? It takes the arrival of a mysterious new neighbour to shake Fiona out of her hangovers. Fiona can't wait to stick her nose into everyone's business and Jonelle Brakin is no exception. Jonelle is everything Fiona isn't - and more. With friends who possibly want her dead, enemies who definitely want her dead, and hunting down a killer, Jonelle is the most fascinating person Fiona has ever met - until Jonelle introduces her to Will Malone. Will is so hot, he's to die for. The only trouble is - just how far will Fiona go to test that theory? Hunted by a psychopath and protected by her neighbourhood retired assassin, Fiona's life just got a hell of a lot more interesting.
