Chain of Custody

Liam Mercer has spent his life cleaning up the damage caused by his reckless younger brother. This time, he refuses. Desperate to pay a gambling debt, Derek breaks into Liam's home and steals what he believes is an expensive gaming laptop. He has no idea it is a classified government access terminal or that its disappearance has already triggered a federal response. As agents close in, Derek runs, their parents scramble to protect him, and a lifetime of favoritism begins collapsing under the weight of criminal charges and buried family secrets.
Liam must prove he had no part in the theft while deciding whether blood still deserves loyalty when family has always demanded everything and given nothing in return.
