About this ebook

>/p>Jewelry designer Madelyn Duval thinks she´s left the high-stakes game of espionage behind her. A trip to China proves her wrong. Ultimately, she finds that mystery and intrigue follow when East meets West.

Madelyn´s career has been a leveling force in her life, a means of escaping her barren, symbiotic marital arrangement. But when she meets charismatic Cheng Gao, emotional frustration sets in, for their mutual attraction is as sure as the moon´s draw on an evening tide.

Innocently, the two become embroiled in a deadly conspiracy, a haunting murder, and a scandalous secret that places them in grave danger. Will they escape with their lives? Will their passion bridge an ocean? Or will fate intervene and curtail their fragile time together?

Author

Pat Booth-Lynch

Pat Booth Lynch considers her life a true adventure. She’s discovered the joy of traveling to exotic places, engaged in a rewarding corporate career, developed talents that have expanded her horizons, raised a talented daughter, Kyle, and has been married to a dynamo of a husband Jack, who has made the journey seem like a trip to a candy store. Currently, while living in Florida, she’s involved in writing thriller novels, namely Blood Pearls and Blood Image as well as short stories that have won awards, some of which are highlighted in an anthology titled, Tales to tease the senses. When she’s not pounding our provocative stories or managing her Ease-on Apparel Corporation, you’ll find her traveling to those far away places with the strange sounding names in search of that next adventure.
