In all the years Marianne Scott worked in business, she never knew she had a flair for storytelling. Being tangled in the day-to-day challenges of meeting deadlines, dollar targets, and ever-tighter delivery expectations, left little time or energy for creativity. Yet at her core, she always felt something there. She didn’t know how to name it, this yearning that grew inside her with every passing year.
At work, Marianne would jokingly threaten to write a “tell-all” about her colleagues, exposing the difficult personalities and the stressful foibles of the fast-paced manufacturing industry, but in fact, she found herself more interested in letting her imagination run with stories of conspiracy, forbidden affairs, corporate espionage and other sundry misdoings.
Once she left the corporate world, instead of penning non-fiction tales, she gave herself over to her imagined worlds. Her truest pleasure, amusement, and release soon came from turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
“It all ended with the fire that took away my parents, my little brother, and everything I was or ever knew. That part of me is gone.”
On a day that was supposed to end in celebration, Kathleen Jones finds that her home has been torched and her family killed. In the chaos and terror of the moment, two men grab and drug her unconscious. As she awakes in a clinic with her face in bandages, more men with guns storm in and try to kill her but her abductors save her life, whisking her away on a private jet to France.
Now that everyone is calling her Ruby—Ruby Draker, she knows that her life will never be the same.
He’s alive!
At the safehouse in Southern France, Ruby Draker is stunned as she monitors the security system and a photograph appears on the screen.
The photograph shows the presumed-dead Robert Draker in a wheelchair at the Portland, Maine, physio clinic.
The Draker family immediately jumps into action and flies to the US to save Robert.
But they no sooner land than they realize that not only is Robert harder to find than they'd anticipated, there's a much larger situation of concern.
Now they have to choose: save their beloved family member, or defend national security.
He's a Cold War spy hiding from one of his own.
His real identity is tied to a treacherous past associated with American intelligence operations closed down after the end of the Cold War, and his enemy is relentless. All he has to do is change his name. Right? Wrong.
Very wrong. Felix has eyes and ears everywhere.
No matter where Grace Walker goes, her extra sensory power goes with her. She’s an empath and sees things—terrible things.
After a tragic accident at the place where she works, she decides to take a mental‑health break on a remote West Coast island.
But she no sooner gets to Galliano Island when a vision of the murder of an Indigenous woman draws her into a disturbing and threatening dilemma.
