Kimberly Mira was supposed to be flying home to make peace with the family she ran from. Instead, the pilot murders the Ashtibian royals in the cabin and the old valet she barely knew throws her into the Atlantic seconds before the plane explodes.
She washes up on the wrong beach. On the wrong island. In front of the wrong man.
Raphael Murphy is CIA-trained, Marine-honed, and hollowed out by a betrayal he can't forgive himself for. He owns a thousand-year-old Scottish keep transported stone by stone to the coast of Maine — and a silence so absolute even the castle's ghost has started leaving notes.
The assassins aren't finished. Roger and Harry Hellsworth know exactly where Kimberly is. And they're very good at what they do.
Rescued heroine. Haunted castle. Tortured ex-CIA alpha. One ghost, two snipers, and a woman who decides she's done being the target.
USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com.
