After several frightening events that shook Alex’s world, things have settled down.

Alex and T.J. are in love.
Enter Jett Spence, a man who once was part of T.J.’s world but who is now an unknown, because no one can tell whose side he’s on.
Two thousand miles away in Hollywood, Alex’s old haunts, the powerful producer Brian Marks is falling apart because he’s lost her. The woman he never thought would leave him is now in the bed of a younger man.
In New York City, T.J.’s ex-wife, Lisa, is looking to get even with the woman she thinks destroyed her marriage. Her vengeful father Davin Dalaney is eager to help because T.J. is no longer willing to ignore his criminal profits.
Brian is intent on getting Alex back.
Lisa wants to make her pay.
And T.J. is attempting to keep her safe.
Alex believes she can take care of herself, but being with T.J. has taught her it’s not always that simple.

Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in Beltway Betrayers?
Alex Gantry has catapulted an elite personal life
coaching business into a commodity.
Alex works with the hottest
producers, actors, and anyone else feeling the stress of Hollywood. She's
independent, successful, and likes being attached and single, even when she's
in love.
Brian Marks muscled into
the indie film production world to make it big. He's never been married, and is
gorgeous. He didn't take his relationship with Alex seriously until she was
gone. He's still grappling with the loss of Alex to a man 20 years his junior,
who Brian thinks is half the man he is.
The founder of Banks and Associates is Alex's best
friend, Berkley Banks, and it almost cost Berkley her life. She founded a
social media marketing company that is helping companies deal with the new
media world. It's one of the hottest firms in the Beltway. Berkley convinced
Alex to move from Hollywood to the Washington, D.C., by offering her a
partnership.
T.J. Gale is one of Berkley
Banks's hottest clients. He's a former Wall Street hot shot with a family
legacy that holds sway in Washington, D.C. He's an environmental entrepreneur.
But there's more to him, which begins to unfold in Beltway Betrayers. T.J. also runs a private military firm, which
means action is never far away.
Malcolm Steele is T.J.'s
closest confidant. He runs T.J.'s private military firm, a lucrative endeavor
that gets involved in specialized situations needing security from former
military personnel and intelligence officers.
Lisa Dalaney is the
daughter of Davin Dalaney, from whom she gets her identity and her paycheck.
She's fighting for her place in Dalaney Enterprises, and fending off the fury
she feels over her father's misogyny. After finding out her father has no
intention of leaving her in charge of the company after him, Lisa's put another
plan together.
Davin Dalaney came up the
hard way, made himself in the shipping business, while seeing that globalism
meant Pandora's box was finally open. Everything is for sale. Davin funded LSS,
and now that T.J. has dumped his daughter, there's no reason to be nice
anymore. Davin wants revenge.
Phyllis Lawrence is T.J.'s
stepmother. They are very close. She's a powerful woman in the rarified air of international
philanthropists and global financiers. Phyllis is the widow of Teddy Gale, who
was privy to the secrets of presidents, influencers, and the mighty. Now Phyllis
wields his power.
