Jordan Vasilakis is on the run, living under
an assumed name. After a disastrous marriage to a notorious Greek business
tycoon, she flees to the States and starts rebuilding her life. But her
ruthless husband is determined to destroy her…once he finds her.
Michael Machau is drawn to the new singer at
Jazz House restaurant, but the guarded woman is harboring dangerous secrets.
The dedicated police officer may have to risk more than just his heart to forge
a connection with the woman he knows as Madeline Cielo, especially when he discovers
she’s living a lie.
Wrlds collide. Lies entangle. Survival, much
less love, is in question. They must quickly distinguish friends from enemies
or risk losing everything—including a future together.
Jordan scrambled to the other side of the limo.
“You sing good tonight.” He scrolled through his phone.
“Yes, Kyrios.”
Outside the window, massive cruise ships docked in the
port. Happy older people made their way up the gangplanks toting bags filled with
souvenirs, while the younger ones debarked dressed for the nightlife. Sparkly
sequins flashed like diamonds as one young woman twirled on the pier.
God, how had she come to this life? She willed her
hovering tears not to fall. Kyrios wouldn’t approve.
When she was offered a place in the touring group ten
years ago, she thought it was the beginning of great things. Standing in the
cabaret with the lights shining down was her dream come true. When she was the
woman in the sparkly dress.
Until he showed up.
Each night, Kyrios Vasilakis, Greek business tycoon, sat
at the front table watching her. Yes, he was older but so very handsome. Dark
hair with silver at the temples, he cut a dashing figure in his black suits.
Jordan began to sing to him. It was the beginning of the
end. After a whirlwind romance, she found herself a prisoner in marriage to a
brute.

D. V. Stone is an award-winning, multi-genre,
traditionally and independently published author. She writes books people want
to read. Whether romance or fantasy, her stories are about the importance of
friends and family. About overcoming obstacles while doing it with humor.
Around the Fire is a popular weekly blog where she introduces
both established and new authors giving an insider’s look into their lives and
books as well as tidbits about her own life.
After retiring, she is now a full-time author and
incorporates her life experiences into her books.
A former Emergency Medical Technician, she volunteered
in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. At the same time, she worked as a
professional EMT in a women’s state prison. She was the proprietor of a coffee
shop and a small restaurant/ice cream stand in the years that followed. The
years following were as a manager in an animal emergency hospital, while her
last position was in a human medical office.
When not behind the wheel of 2Hoots—a 41-foot long
13.2 feet high 5th Wheel camper, she rambles around town in Northern
New Jersey in a white Camaro. She also loves travel and history.
D.V. is wife to an amazing husband, mother to one
son, and not your average grandma to three beautiful grands. A woman of faith,
she believes and trusts in God.
“My greatest pleasures are
spending time outside with friends and family, cooking over the open fire,
sipping a glass of wine, and reading.”
Hali, her rescue dog, always
reminds her to let readers know, “Woof, woof.” Which is loosely
translated as support your local animal rescue.
You can learn more about D. V. by following her on Social
Media.

Thanks for visiting the Window!
ReplyDeleteI never figured you for a weird animal noise maker. Must be a hit with your grands!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Jazz House is just as exciting a read as Rock House Grill, DV! Good luck and God's blessings with it/them!

Although I'm fascinated by the weird animal noises you can make :), my eye stopped on the cranberry seltzer. That sounds really good, and I don't recall seeing any around my usual grocery store. I'll need to look more closely. Thanks for the new tip! And continued best with Jazz House!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like another winner from you. Best on it!
