    About this ebook

    Calvin Stonebridge was a brilliant financial adviser and surprisingly, a loner. Rumors had it that he didn't like women, but in real life it was the contrary. He never considered marrying, especially to an American woman until he met Sonia. There was only one problem; Calvin met Sonia at her engagement party to his colleague and friend, Steven. The idea to make Sonia his wife becomes his calm but firm obsession, as since they first met, she had become of the center of Calvin's universe, the center of his ignited desire to have her and her only. One thing unknown to anyone who knew him, what Calvin wanted, Calvin got, as long as it did not get in the way of playing with his "toys". Calvin Stonebridge's secret life was bound to come to light and justice was lurking around the corner, but only if he couldnt avoid. Many tried and many failed in their attempt to find out about Calvin Stonebridges secret world, if indeed it existed. His remarkable talent to camouflage his actions made everyone involved question; is there anyone capable to bring the Delta Force's fearless former soldier to his knees? Maybe one person could and that person makes Calvin wonder about his future, if there is any.

    Eva Fischer-Dixon

    I came into this troubled world during the early morning hours of June 17, 1950, in the city of Budapest, Hungary. I was the first and last child of my 41-year-old mother and my father who was 45 years old at the time of my birth. As I did not know any better, I could not possibly understand that we were living in poverty, as I was growing up with loving parents and there was always a bite to eat. My childhood was poor and saddened with tragedies. As a six-year-old child I witnessed the bloody 1956 revolution and received the first taste of true prejudice by those of whom I thought liked us, yet turned against my family. That tragedy did not match the untimely death of my beloved father when I was not yet seven years old, on February 14, 1957. My mother remarried in 1959 and our financial situation was upgraded from poverty to poor. After finishing elementary school I made a decision to earn money as soon as possible to ease our financial situation and I enrolled in a two-year business college (high school diploma was not required). I received my Associate Degree in 1966 and I began to work as a 16-year-old certified secretary/bookkeeper. During the same period I began my high-school education, which I completed while working full-time and attending night school. I discovered my love for writing when I was 11 years old after a movie that my childhood friend and I saw in the movie theater. We were not pleased with the ending and Steven suggested that I should write a different ending that we both liked. Voila, a writer was born. With my family’s encouragement, I entered a writing contest given by a youth oriented magazine and to my genuine surprise, I won second price. My desire to live in a free country and to improve my life was so great, that in 1972, leaving everything, including my aging parents behind, I managed to escape from Hungary during a tour to Austria, (then) Yugoslavia and Italy. I spent almost nine long months in a rat infested refugee camp, located Capua, Italy, while I waited for official permission to immigrate to the country of my dreams, to the USA. In 1975 I met and married a wonderful man, my husband Guy. Thanks to his everlasting patience, he assisted me in my task of learning the English language. He is truly my partner for life and I remain forever grateful to him for standing by me in some tough times. It is difficult for me to describe my love for writing. I cannot think of a bigger emotional joy for an author than to see a published novel in somebody’s hand and to see a story come alive on the screen. I yearn to experience that joy.
