Description

The Crown Prince of Bahrmia is dying. All the money in the world can't help him. It is inshallah, the will of God. However, his father has ideas of his own. The ruler of a small, oil-rich sheikhdom in the Persian Gulf, he will use his wealth to save his son. Challenging the will of Allah, he devises a plan that will make a good man shudder and a good woman die. Reynolds McNeal's marriage has ended and she must learn to make it on her own. She's lonely and vulnerable. Years of living in a small expatriate oil community where everyone knows everyone else, have made her very trusting. When she is befriended by a handsome, interesting man in a coffee shop at Kennedy Airport, they appear to have many things in common. It doesn't occur to her that he is much too charming and that the early morning meeting could be anything more than a coincidence. Their romance blooms, and during a whirlwind holiday that spans three continents, she learns the truth. An innocent bystander is killed and she knows she will be next unless she can come up with a plan of her own. In Daren Lamb's provocative style, she'll guide you through exotic cities, giving you the feeling you have been there before. She will put you in her character's minds and take you to the depth of their passions, while you feel what they feel, and see what they see, as they work out a way to survive.
