Books like The Burner Husband by John Etcheverry

From the author of The New Americans trilogy: THE BURNER HUSBAND—See what happens when a good man who deserves more decides to take it. Etcheverry maintains a breakneck pace from the first page through the last sentence, leaving the reader speechless and satisfied. Recently divorced, Ben Nelson is a talented builder with no skill for managing money or relationships but a keen eye for opportunity. Opportunities like Vika Solovenko, a war refugee who lost everything in Ukraine and gained nothing in Don Coleman, the poor excuse she married in Charlotte, North Carolina. She’ll do anything to escape her marriage, and Ben devises a plan to rescue her while easing his financial woes. To pull it off, he’ll have to get away with murder—literally—and trust his fate in her hands. THE BURNER HUSBAND is a dark parable of unchained ambition in a world where nothing is less certain than the past.
