When Laura Margolin, TV jewelry shopping's latest diva, crosses paths with super spy Hayward Lazarus, she has no idea that before their saga is done, her career will be toast, her hero will have died heroically-and they'll live happily ever after.
The copper-haired beauty, up to her azure eyeballs in the world of jewelry marketing, meets Lazarus on her flight to Amsterdam to introduce herself to the Dutch magnate who's just purchased Sparkles Inc. As a spy, Laz's task is to cut off insurgent funding, but his covert mission is aborted before it begins and he runs for his life. While he hides, determined to come out of this alive, Laura goes happily about her business in the sunny Dutch city until her new boss puts a move on her that has her running too.
Glamour gal and slippery spy ratchet between ecstasy and despair as they try to unravel separate webs of deception; webs that weave into a wild and crazy patchwork. They want to be together but the fates seem to have other plans.
About the Author: Pat Dale After a long career as a professional musician, Dale turned to the pen to craft over a dozen novels and he's adding more to the list. The native Missourian traveled far and wide before settling near Kansas City to enjoy the scenic beauty of the heartland. Using musical rhythms and values, he writes in a style some call poetic prose.
When readers noted his bent for dark gritty stories when not in comedic mode, he's writing a mystery that will give even hardy souls something to shiver about.
Whether romantic comedy or dark drama is your cup of tea, Pat's endearing (and sometimes frightening) characters will lead you into worlds you might otherwise never have visited. So, pick up a Pat Dale novel and whisk yourself off for a few hours of fantasy.
