Marcus Tyler is hard, uncompromising, and dangerous to know.
Bethany Knight is bored, ignored by her unfaithful, millionaire husband, and - though she doesn't know it - looking for a new life.
And in Elaine Dex's new thriller, the two come together with a mighty crash!
Elaine Dex is a new author, based in the north of England, and although she has been writing and presenting her books on web sites for some time - and to great acclaim - this is her first full, published novel to see the light of day.
It is the story of Tyler, fresh from a disastrous relationship that compromised his role in the British secret service. Forced to take a break by his bosses, he meets Bethany on a sun-drenched beach in the Maldives. Little does he know how this seemingly unremarkable woman will change his life...
"The soft waves of the Indian ocean lapped against the crystal white beach, and the deep blues of the sky reflected silently in the turquoise and ultramarine of the waters below. A small white fishing boat crawled towards the horizon, and in the distance the cluttered rumble of the little blue and yellow seaplane that had brought him there could be heard as it headed back towards Male. Tyler looked around with some disdain at the interior of the Honeymoon Water Villa that he had been shown to upon his arrival at the resort of Bonnie’s choice. It was beautiful, but not his style. Having had holidays booked for him by Bonnie before, he knew it was both entirely her style and entirely beyond her budget. She sent him on holidays she wished she could go on herself. Maybe one day he’d take her with him, but it would probably be his last day in the department – and hers - if he did. Grimacing, he deleted her text message explaining that the Honeymoon Villa was all that had been available and tossed his phone onto the huge king-size bed, scattering the exotic flower petals that had been strategically placed in the shape of a love heart. He looked over to where his luggage had been placed and frowned. He decided against unpacking for now, instead doing an about turn and heading out of the villa."
