The Emerald Key

He vanished without a trace. She crossed continents to find him. Seven years ago, Fiona Finch fell hopelessly in love with a mysterious man named Richard. Then he disappeared. Determined to discover why the man she loves abandoned her, she begins a search that takes her from New York to Madrid, Cape Town and Casablanca. But the closer she gets to Richard, the stranger everything becomes. Fiona realizes that someone is willing to kill to keep the truth buried, whatever that truth may be.

A cryptic message sends her to a secret refuge in Colombia, where she discovers that other women have spent years hiding from people who wanted them dead. Then comes the revelation that changes everything - an old case involving Richard, mysterious jewelry, and a necklace Fiona inherited from her mother. All of these may be connected to a secret that has survived for generations.

At the center of it all is a collection of extraordinary necklaces-and a powerful secret known only to a handful of guardians.

As assassins close in and the bodies begin to accumulate, Fiona finds herself drawn into a deadly struggle involving royal bloodlines, hidden identities, betrayal and an ancient legacy that powerful men will kill to possess.

And somewhere in the middle of the chaos is the man she has spent years trying to find. Richard knows the truth. But protecting the woman he loves may mean losing her forever.

The Emerald Key is a sweeping romantic mystery thriller of royal intrigue, hidden bloodlines, forbidden love, dangerous secrets and a centuries-old conspiracy that reaches across continents.
