    About this ebook

    Beware of the seductive beauty of a mysterious woman who at times mirrors the lethal allure of a dangerous shark.

    Mistaking the identity of a young American architect for an American DEA agent, a beautiful English spy’s seduction of an innocent man leads to his abduction. Amidst the tropical paradise of Tobago, she regretfully thrusts him into a world of drug cartels and international intrigue.

    Forced into aiding with the recovery of a treasure at rest within the ocean depths, the young man must endure the dangers of shark-infested waters and the desperation of a drug lord. He also is torn by his feelings for her. Was her attraction to him genuine or was he simply a pawn in a treacherous game?

    This unanticipated attraction between them threatens to expose not only her cover but also her true self, hidden away so very long ago.

    Will she forsake duty and risk all to save him or will she allow her soul to remain buried beneath the depths of her heart?

      Chapter One

      I see that the nubile blonde sharks are circling. They seem most ravenous for handsome male flesh. The deeply alluring English accented voice of a beautiful woman jarred Chase from a sullen trance. Following the slight motion of her head, he cast a quick glance toward two young blonde co-eds who had taken an interest in him. Nervously Chase took a sip of his ice water and then cast a friendly smile to the woman who had spoken to him.

      Without being invited, she took the seat across from him at his table.

      He smiled and whispered, I should probably call the police. Those two just murdered you with their eyes. As she motioned for the waiter to come and take her order, the woman could not suppress her smile and laughter. Within a moment, he was by her side.

      He was instantly attracted to the beautiful woman who sat across from him. Her long brown hair casually fell to her shoulders. There was a playful wickedness in her striking brown eyes. Though he guessed her age was slightly beyond forty, her face and body were youthful and inviting. The tone of her tanned skin was a subtle caramel shade. She wore a white bikini top and a yellow skirt; a bit underdressed for an evening at the hotel restaurant, yet the evening heat offered forgiveness of this fashion risk.

      After a brief awkward moment of silence, the woman began a not so subtle interrogation. So...what brings an extremely handsome young American male, such as yourself, to Tobago? Judging from the attention that you are already receiving...my guess is that the sexual conquest of American college girls is a most definite possibility. Chase felt a blush cast across his face
