A Bad Investment

Jeremy Lawson, even as a child, was unattractive. Rejected by young Shelley, he resolved never to put himself in a position again where he could be hurt by anyone. He didn't need women - or friends for that matter. He just needed to be smart, and was. A lone wolf forging his own path, he would become an extremely wealthy property dealer - but not necessarily kind to those who crossed him. Then Chloe Jenkins entered his world - with intent. A beautiful if avaricious young woman, she decided that middle-aged Jeremy was fair game to be separated from some of his wealth. Her lover, Karl Janssens, a failed footballer and cybercrime criminal with a prison record, was far more ambitious. He wanted all of it. He wasn't worried about the Nigerians... So the game began.
