In the midst of her global escapades, she also finds love.
Will she let her thirst for retribution destroy that, too?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From Jayne Lockwood Reviews
"This is another enormously enjoyable read from Mr. Wells. It's all in there, a luscious mix of Sidney Sheldon and Shirley Conran, updated and fresh enough to stand tall in the 21st century. I could not put this book down."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewed by David Savage, What's Good to Do Magazine
"A story of money, greed, scams, revenge and love! A very well-written series of books where the pace does not let up from Book 1 to the final pages of Book 5. A highly entertaining read, it has to be one of the best stories I have read in years."
