The Dauntless Heiress

About the Book

As soon as he bumps into Susan Parker in a college hallway, Lance Taylor realizes the moment is an auspicious turning point in his life. While he searches for something impressive to say, Susan smiles, gives him her phone number, and agrees to a date the following day. Unfortunately neither Susan nor Lance have any idea what is about to transpire for both of them.

It is love at first sight and not long before Lance and Susan become engaged. But everything changes the night Susan is involved in a car accident caused by a driver on a criminal mission that leaves her parents dead, Susan in the hospital, and an unidentified two-year-old unscathed in the backseat of the other car. As a complex mystery unfolds, Lance learns Susan’s father owned a large uncut diamond desperately wanted by a mastermind criminal. While Lance and Susan launch an investigation to determine the toddler’s identity, her parents’ lawyer is kidnapped and his life threatened unless certain demands are met. As the terror increases, a small clue is left behind that may finally help solve the mystery and identify a killer once and for all.

In this action-packed thriller, an unplanned meeting propels two college students into the midst of pivotal consequences caused by a crazed murderer determined to stop at nothing to obtain what he wants.
