Book III

She thought she was the one doing the seducing. By the time she understood otherwise, the dams were already wired.

A water-rights empire is quietly consolidating across the American West, built on engineered scarcity, straw buyers, and a sabotage plot that will drown an entire valley to clear the deeds. Behind the money sits a woman who has perfected the art of unmaking people from the inside — and her current project is Tali Canyon.

While GW believes their cross-country honeymoon is exactly what it looks like, Tali is being drawn into something far more dangerous than an affair: a deliberate dismantling of the control she's spent her life building, administered by a woman who knows precisely which levers move her. The therapy sessions Tali keeps secret, the slips she can't always stop, the growing distance between the woman GW married and the one making decisions in New York — all of it is by design, and none of it is about him.

Watershed is a thriller about water, land, and the oldest form of power there is — the kind exercised over another person's will, one carefully administered surrender at a time. When the dams break and the bodies surface, the reckoning that follows belongs to the women who survived being remade.

Watershed is a standalone novel and the third charm in the GW Canyon Series. Come from TwinStar and Fiery, or arrive here first — the water will still cost more than anyone admits, and Tali will still surprise you.
