Ethan Barak leads a double life, helping MI-6 bring down arms dealers all over the world until his father is murdered by an old associate.

“Bellon has penned yet another fast-paced international thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night. From Boston, to the nation’s capital, to Iraq, All’s Fair combines political intrigue, terrorism, suspense, and more than a touch of romance, into a sweeping maelstrom you won’t soon
forget.” —Jeffrey S. Savage“I spent eight years as a military spouse, and two as a military contractor. Bellon’s ability to place a fictitious situation smack in the middle of a real-world conflict with seamless transition is impressive! I felt drawn to her vivid characters and interested in the outcome of all storylines. Truly one of the most enjoyable reading experiences I’ve had in a long time. Kudos to the author and I can’t wait to read something she writes in the near future!” — Cindy Wedding
