"Only the ocean knows what secrets lie beneath her watery shroud…"
Settings: Chicago, New York, Palm Beach, London
It is only a few days before Susan Winslow's luxurious Palm Beach wedding. All is perfect except that her multi-millionaire fiancé Anthony Fiore is leading a secret life known only to the reader.
Susan has always enjoyed her galas, couture, and being squired around town on the arms of politicians and powerful men. She was born into wealth and this was her destiny!
Palm Beach is hiding even a bigger secret! The tiny paradise is back in full swing, but it is more like a veritable Open Season as its richest men are running amuck trying to "secure" their dates for the highly anticipated soirée at the Whitestone Country Club. And, at this illustrious event, it is never considered a privilege to be the Guest of Honor!
The club's upper echelon, referred to as the Black Veil Society, know that to preserve their place in the world hierarchy that certain sacrifices need to be made in order to give the Devil his due. Since she was young, Susan has been perched right in the center of their sight lines. Who wouldn't want a piece of her? She is beautiful, blonde, smart, and at times, somewhat naïve.
Despite her materialistic needs, Susan is just a romantic searching for her prince and experiences more than her share of first kissing the common frogs. She hooks up with a Mafia nightclub owner, a quirky New York police lieutenant, and the ever-loving Tollbooth Elvis! She is also preyed upon by Robert St. Germain, a high-stakes con artist posing as a Fortune 500 executive, who she just can't seem to escape! And, above all, Susan still harbors feelings for Michael Hansen, her childhood crush, who seems to re-surface whenever she least expects it.
Susan thought her dance card was full, that is, until she meets Karl, a wealthy British businessman who rules in the boardroom, and in his playroom, which appears to have no exit! The devilish Karl is definitely not who he seems as his dark games leave Susan restless and hungering for more thrills! It is his own connection to the Whitestone that is of special interest.
The Ocean's Veil is filled with suspense, romance, a hint of the supernatural, and unforgettable steamy, true to life characters. Its unexpected twists provide for an adventure on every page!
