Scalawags: The Invitation: Where Secrets Are Kept and Boundaries Blur

By Tiegan Marlow

She thought it was an invitation.
It was something far more dangerous.

Elise Mercer has everything she's supposed to want-a successful career, a powerful husband, and a life built on quiet perfection. But when a discreet envelope arrives with no signature, no return address, and a single word-Scalawags-something inside her shifts.

Hidden behind the fa ade of an elite New Jersey estate lies a world few are ever allowed to see. A place where wealth is assumed, discretion is absolute, and desire is not instructed-but understood.

Daniel Mercer has spent his life in control. Of his business. Of his environment. Of himself. But Scalawags was never designed for control.

It was designed for truth.

Inside its walls, boundaries blur. Power shifts. And the question is no longer what is allowed...

-but what is wanted.

As Elise and Daniel step deeper into a world governed by invitation and instinct, they will discover that the most dangerous thing is not what happens behind closed doors-

...but what follows them home.

Scalawags: The Invitation is a seductive, high-society romance where luxury, secrecy, and desire collide-and nothing is quite what it seems.
