It seems fate brought them together for a reason when Scarlette Langella and Tyler O'Brien meet again after their one-night stand and discover they're connected by more than just burning-hot chemistry: both their families are part of a generations-old blackmail threat.

While exploring their fiery romance, they uncover long-buried family secrets and the origins of the blackmail scheme dating back to the Roaring Twenties.

But the clock is ticking and the blackmailers will stop at nothing - not even murder - to prevent the couple from revealing the truth.

Amidst all this, Scarlette's stalker shows himself, and everyone asks themselves the same question: what's his part in the recent events?

Will Scarlette and Tyler succeed in putting an end to the threats to their families? Or will they become the next victims of this web of deceit and danger?

Debut author Lyv Lamere's Generational Payment kicks off the new steamy instalove trilogy Couples & Crime, where mystery mingles with romance to create stories full of passion and intrigue - in more ways than one.
