“A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” Richard Bach
Imagine … A brutal rape. A vicious murder. Now … what would you seek if it involved your daughter? If the monster is her stepfather? Justice or revenge? In Peril in Paradise, Clara Garza is faced with this dilemma while also trying to stay one step ahead of her deranged ex-husband, Damian Garza. She knows both options offer resolution, but neither will bring Ally back.
As she embarks on her voyage for justice, Clara meets Jackson Brady, a man seeking his own revenge—a man also trying to capture her heart. The two find themselves resolving one issue only to be faced with another sinister challenge. Readers will want to join Clara and Jackson as they navigate a journey of justice, revenge … and survival.
