Back to where it all began. Young and naive, Chantelle is madly in love with her best friend James, and she risks losing everything if he doesn’t feel the same way. Her hesitation plays right into the hands of a man hiding a deep dark secret.
Michael is the man every woman wants. He knows how to get what he wants and will destroy anything that gets in his way. Handsome and smart, with more money than some countries, he is drawn to Chantelle’s innocence and salivates at the thought of owning her.
Thrust into his seductive world of manipulation and isolation, Chantelle loses herself to a man the world thinks can do no wrong.
But The Devil doesn’t like to lose, and he won’t play fair.
Author Bio
From the small coastal town of Moore Park Beach in Queensland Australia, Shannon Figallo writes The Retribution Series between working, volunteering and providing a free taxi service to her five children.
After almost a decade working as an administrative assistant for Moore Park Beach Glass & Security, in 2019 a traumatic injury to her shoulders left her unable to work full time. Following the incident, Shannon found solace in reading, which slowly led to writing her own stories. A few dot points turned into four handwritten notebooks that became the manuscript for the first book in The Retribution Series.
When she’s not writing, Shannon volunteers as a team manager and sits on the board of the Moore Park Beach Surf Lifesaving Club where she has been an active member since 2006.
With support from her husband Paul, that book became the catalyst of her journey to not only acknowledge, but to overcome her past trauma. The series may be a work of fiction, but they are still relevant in today’s fight against domestic violence.
In her spare time you can find Shannon lost in a book, nursing a Bundaberg Brewed Ginger beer.
