author california coincidence columbia journalist missouri romance santa-barbara

Question - What does an ambitious journalist and the wife of a successful writer have in common? 
Answer - Getting to the truth, chasing the money, and then each other of course.

This is a story of a reclusive writer called Curtis. He came out of nowhere, became the New York Times best seller overnight and accumulated wealth beyond measure.

The trouble was nobody knew how he did it, because he refused to give interviews.

Cue Jake, an equally obsessional journalist who didn't take no for an answer. 

However, getting to meet the reclusive Curtis was only half the battle. He didn't account for the duplicity, and deception he'd have to uncover just to get to the truth.All Rights Reserved

Just Revenge (#1) by lovebirds15

I looked at his eyes and put up a strong face. His eyes bore into mine as much as mine into his. It was like he could read my mind and reach out to my soul just by looking into my eyes. I tried to read his thoughts, too, but it felt like he had blocked me out this time. Nothing seemed clear to me anymore. Tears were burning behind my eyes and threatening to pour out. I forced myself to hold them back and asked him, "Just revenge?" Without a ting of emotion on his face, he said, "Just Revenge." ********************************************* Amelia Lawson had a perfect life.
