Mistress Of Deceit
Edita Petrick
Genre: Romance

Doctor Ambrosia Severn – Amy – had worked very hard for her position in life. The daughter of a horse-breeder, she had clawed her way up life’s ladder to be a physician specializing in the design and fitting of prosthetic devices. She was one of a handful of pioneers into prosthetics controlled by the human mind. She has everything now – genius, a challenging and fulfilling job, extraordinary personal beauty, wealth, the freedom to choose sexual partners at her whim, a boss that she loves, and, best of all, an over-bearing, unethical, glory-seeking, credit-stealing, chauvinistic colleague with half of her ability. To top it all off, she has exchanges of four-letter words with her less-capable colleague. Amy’s solitary vacation in an enormous Pacific beachside retreat takes a bizarre turn when a veritable Adonis of a man walks, naked, out of the surf and into her life. His cryptic answers and odd behavior fuel her curiosity enough to overpower her very reasonable fear that he is a murderer – or worse. Then, after dinner, he saves her life in what is possibly the strangest way she could wrap her mind around. He introduces Amy to his fiancée soon after they meet. She is a woman of wealth and influence – a woman with control and power, much of it garnered by less-than-honorable means. She is also a woman prepared to commit an act of cosmic selfishness. What follows are weeks of excitement and danger. Amy meets strange new friends, some with viewpoints alien to her way of thinking. She explores possibilities that she could never have imagined before – assassins, intrigues, committing murder, an epic bedtime story and, for the first time in her life, a lover who does not fall into either of the categories of “twice my age” or “half my intellect.” Not exactly, anyway.

4.6 Stars (5 Reviews)
Genre: Mystery | Women’s Fiction

When a bellhop at a New York hotel is found murdered in a young teacher’s tiny office at a backwoods Connecticut college, she can’t offer the police any connection between her and the dead man. A week later, she finds a canvas bag in the staff room fridge. Inside it are two scraps of brittle paper and a gold bar stamped with an eagle and swastika cross – Hitler’s logo. If the crest is real, then the ownership of the gold bar is a crime. She decides to see a friend at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, who can help determine whether the bar is authentic. Much to her surprise he focuses on the scraps of paper and then warns her that secrets tattooed into patches of human skin, far more than the gold bar, are deadly — considering who had opted to hide his secrets in such manner. Forty-eight hours later, her friend is dead and the only man she can turn to for help is the one who betrayed her ten years ago.
