Breaking the King
I’m sick of gowns, babysitting diplomats and translating at lavish global dinners. I trade my D.C. heels for my boots when a sudden reassignment rushes me to Egypt. My brief is simple: help a luxury hotel CEO build out the world’s most remote, exclusive resort chain.
It feels like a long-overdue return to the rugged, globe-trotting life I grew up with as an archaeologist’s daughter.
In Egypt, I meet Thomas Crown. The man of my dreams. We share a poolside cocktail in Cairo, uninhibited passion, and all of my darkest secrets. I also have the best night of my life. The morning after, the illusion shatters in the Sahara. I discover my hot, commanding, and infuriatingly grumpy one-night stand is my new boss.
We try to put it behind us as we travel the Sahara, but our chemistry is an explosive, bantering fireworks. We clash over everything, and we become entirely too possessive for our own good.
As we globe-trot from the Sahara to Thailand and onto Alaska, danger follows us. We are chased, snowed in, and wounded—forced to rely only on each other. Along the way, I am placed in the NY King’s luxurious Hampton estate for a fancy wedding. Instead of rejection, his classy family welcomes me in. His siblings also make me realize I’m falling hard for the brooding billionaire. Also, that I am this… Good for him!
But old money and my blue-collar, anthropologist roots do not mix. My parents are gone and I have no family. His is large and wealthy.
When our passion finally ignites into something spectacular, the emotional pressure proves too much, and Thomas shatters my heart. I run. Fleeing to the Amazon basin to help with regional floods, my life takes a deadly turn. Swept downstream and trapped on a rising mountainside, I come face-to-face with a massive anaconda. Out of options and time, I hear a noise behind me.
It’s him. Thomas is here, crouching in the mud with rescue gear. But the rescue gear he offers is an engagement ring. As the ultimate alpha billionaire proposes in the middle of a life-or-death crisis, I’m left with no choice. “The snake! I choose the snake!”
“Sure you do,” the NY King says lifting me. “You’re coming with me.”
