Fern Michaels comes a captivating and heartfelt new novel,
as a young dancer finds an unexpected partner—
and gains the courage to live according to her heart . . .

 

In a city built on dreams, Trisha Holiday makes her
living moving like one. But out of her dancer’s
costume, she’s as down-to-earth as they come.
That’s why she ignores the admiring note—
and the accompanying $1,000 bill—that arrives
backstage after one of her ethereal performances.
Yet the sender, a wealthy foreign prince,
isn’t easily dissuaded. Seven years living and
studying in the United States have made Malik
long for the freedom to choose his own bride—
and the woman he wants is Trisha.

 

After a breathtaking visit to Malik’s kingdom
culminates in a marriage proposal, Trish attempts
to adjust to an opulent new lifestyle complete with
servants, sumptuous surroundings, and vast wealth.
None of that matters to Trish as much as Malik’s love.
With Malik’s sister Soraya proving a trusted new
friend, they plan a lavish wedding surpassing
anything she could have imagined.

 

Yet Trish’s new life will have challenges too—
adjusting to a new and complex culture,
to the myriad demands of Malik’s royal position,
and to the expectations she faces as his wife.
In the midst of her own major changes,
Trish vows to help her sister, Emma, whose marriage
has ended in a bitter breakup. And through it all,
Trish will strive to stay true to what matters most—
love, true friendship, and the ties that hold family
together across the miles and the years.

 

Pediatrician Lorrie Ryan has been looking forward
to camping with her seven-year-old nephew, Davey.
It’s a chance to let the fragile, sheltered boy spend
time away from his nervous, overprotective parents
and have the adventure he’s always wanted.
But in the lush, verdant woods, Lorrie never imagines
that they are not alone ... or that their idyllic trip
will soon become a chilling nightmare of survival ...

 

In one terrifying moment, Davey disappears.
The local police find no trace of him,
and a desperate Lorrie turns to the one man
who can help—FBI agent Stuart Saunders.
Now, the hunt is on for a child growing weaker
by the minute ... and a cruel predator whose twisted
game of cat and mouse has only just begun ...
