A single woman — A complicated life
International, super-model Sadie Stewart meets her Dutch lover, Sebastian Wilde, in Venice to celebrate their six month anniversary. But having lived a double life as a CIA operative for ten years, her life is never simple.
During a costume ball in an ancient Venetian palace, an assassin tries to kill her. As a result Sebastian gets ridiculously, over-protective, which drives her crazy. Her old boss offers to help her, but wants something in return.
Bakari al-Sharif, an arms-dealer with an insatiable thirst for power, is planning to steal King Tutankhamen’s scarab from Highclere castle near London. Sadie is the only person who has ever gotten close to al-Sharif and lived. The CIA wants her to stop him.
Or at least that’s what they say. When it comes to the world of espionage, the true motivation of the players is never clear.
Can Sadie return to the life of a spook and maintain a relationship with Sebastian? Can she nail the arms-dealer? And why did the masked man try to kill her?
Life is complicated for Sadie Stewart.
A cross between Indiana Jones and Covert Affairs

I Love a Good Villain
There’s nothing like a good, bad guy to make a story really zing. I work hard to give my villains dimension. I want to know why they’re so bad and I like to reveal their true nature in snippets to add suspense to the story.
When a villain is understandable he is scarier. If I do a good enough job of portraying my bad guy as a real, but flawed, human being, my reader will develop some empathy for him. That is until the final scenes, when his darkness takes over.
I don’t think anyone is all-good or all-bad and the mixtures intrigue me. I like to think of my villains as finely prepared cocktails with just the right combination of liquors and a heavy dose of danger.
