Sparks fly between Olivia and Eli every time their paths collide. Amid the chaos, Eli investigates to prove his wife's murderer is Aga Kahn. Olivia joins Eli's quest to bring Kahn to justice. When Eli's and Olivia's hearts connect, she resists love. A futures together seems impossible with their divergent careers.
After several attempts on Olivia's life, panic sends Eli into action. Is history going to repeat itself? The answer is in the African Skies...
Escape from Timbuktu (Book 2)
Elliana Bendale can’t believe her first assignment as a photojournalist is in … well, Timbuktu.
Yes, it sounds remote, but it’s an enchanting ancient city in West Africa, and if she does this right, this project could open the door to a world of exotic assignments. And even better—her translator is a ruggedly handsome Frenchman. What could be more exciting?
Beau de La Croix is not who he says he is. But posing as an interpreter enables him to gather intel about the terrorists threatening Timbuktu. No one needs to know he’s a double agent—especially not Ellie.
Unfortunately, the number one enemy in the world has figured it out, and suddenly Ellie’s photojournalist adventure includes dodging bullets, traveling down a crocodile-infested river, and literally running for her life.
What has Beau gotten her into? And if they survive, can she say goodbye to her hunky hero? Or is his life as a double agent too much excitement for a feisty Texas girl?
When Beau’s worst fears come true, what will he do to save the feisty reporter he can’t seem to shake?
Book 3 coming soon
