Empty Heart coming soon

Here is the blurb for my new romantic suspense story Empty Heart. This idea came to me years ago on a visit to Manly beach in Sydney with my daughter. We talked about how disorienting it is to come out of the surf and not be able to find your gear on a crowded beach. But what if your things and worse, your companion, had really disappeared? Which begs the question, why?

Honeymooner Nikki Spenser emerges from the surf at Surfers Paradise and can’t find her husband, her towel or her clothes on the beach. Carlos has disappeared from her life as suddenly as he entered it.

In despair, Nikki returns to Sydney where she is contacted by Detective Luke Emerson, a reminder from her past she thought never to see again. Luke informs her the man she married so recklessly in Las Vegas three weeks ago doesn’t exist. Nikki realises she knows very little about Carlos beyond he is a wealthy Spanish businessman. Or so she thought. Who is he? Where is he?

Nikki and Luke are plunged into an ever widening sea of crime and violence as they seek the answers to her questions.
