So I hope this free day for Hidden Pearl will also draw in readers, maybe even some new ones who are attracted to not only the romance but the book's underlying premise which is why do people choose cults, what are they hoping to find. The hidden pearl isn't a real thing but rather that for which we seek-- often with unintended consequences.
Hidden Pearl will be free for 24 hours on Thursday, February 23. Just be sure if you want it that you get it before the sale ends. Sometimes people goof and end up paying $2.99 when that wasn't their goal. Fortunately Amazon refunds their money but better is to not have it go wrong.
*********************
A contemporary western romance, with a mystery at its center, explores the question of what is worth dying and even more living for.
Life's plans often become derailed by events beyond our control. Such a life changing day begins for S.T. Taggert with a call from his Navajo mother asking the multimillionaire builder/architect to find what has happened to his sister, Shonna, whom he has not seen since he left home in his teens. At the same time he learns from the newspaper that Lane Brown, a colleague, has just committed suicide.
S.T.'s day just keeps getting better as a photographer for a slick magazines shows up to do a photo spread he had not agreed to do and turns out to be the beautiful and spirited Christine Johnson. Sparks fly.
The two are both drawn south in Oregon toward a mysterious cult where Christine has an assignment to photograph its successful evangelistic leader, and S.T. finds a possible cause of the disappearance of his sister and a connection between this cult and Lane Brown.
Hidden Pearl is about a couple who are naturally attracted to each other while they have a lot of reasons to not become emotionally entangled. Their love story unwinds as they try to find what happened to Shonna, Lane, and survive the intentions Peter Soul has for each of them.
So love, mystery, adventure, and an exploration of what humans hope to get when they look for a spiritual answer to life-- not only from such cults but from also other spiritual traditions.
