Summer Wine
Both the Americans and the Russians think Victoria works for them − exclusively. In truth; the Pack − an International Crime Syndicate − brutally controls her as they launder money in America by way of buying distressed houses for terrorist sleepers. As she executes the perfect escape, staging her death during a shark attack, she makes one mistake. She meets Royce, a retired special operative, the night before disappearing. After a night of passion she conceives his baby. How was she to know that he escaped from the same hell earlier that she is enduring now? And how was she to know that he would return to track down Raptor, the enforcer of the Pack and finish a mission that he abandoned two years ago. With Royce in more danger than he realizes, she has no choice but to come out of hiding and to his rescue.
In the spirit of books written by such writers as Julie Garwood and Sandra Brown, Summer Wine is an 84,000-word romantic thriller that moves from the beaches of Florida to Moscow and ultimately to Paris and Nice, France. The powerful forces that control the world both politically and economically soon learn that the power of love can be much more than they want to contend with.
