Success too often comes with a price. Juliet never imagined it could be so high.
Dr. Juliet Ryan has devoted her considerable scientific acumen to corporate America, providing safe drinking water for millions–and affording her plenty of perks along the way. It’s not the path her estranged father would have her take, but then Juliet finds it difficult to maintain respect for a man she cannot trust. She’s on her way up in the world, and she’s not going to let anything drag her down.
But when a fast-moving disaster sweeps Juliet into a whirlpool of corporate scandal, lives are at risk–including those of some of the people closest to her. As she scrambles to find answers, Juliet must face her deepest wounds and join forces with the one who has hurt her most in order to expose a far-reaching conspiracy.
Like a mighty river with twists and turns and hidden rocks, this engrossing story will sweep you relentlessly along as it fearlessly explores the seduction of success, the fear of giving up control, and the redemptive power of learning to forgive.
ISLAND BREEZES
Dr. Juliet Ryan and her father are both acclaimed scientists. While Juliet has chosen to work in corporate America, her father has chosen to play more of a watchdog role. They are often on opposite sides in the scientific community.
Juliet thinks her life is progressing nicely and then it all blows up. She ends up in the middle of disaster and intrigue. You’ll enjoy the twists and turns of this story, but be aware that you may very well need that box of tissues to control a river of tears. I did.
I enjoyed both this book and her previous one, A Woman of Fortune. Kellie Coates Gilbert’s main characters are women of strength. I’m looking forward to the next book in her Texas Gold series.
