Trust is Everything.
Wild Women Authors focus on Return to Victoria Island, a contemporary romantic suspense written by Karen Andover, released by the Wild Rose Press on March 5, 2025.
About the Book: When hardworking
accountant Ava Morrison is passed over for her dream promotion, she is
disappointed. But when her employer gives her two weeks to sign a high-value
client or be fired, she is devastated. Then she is reminded of the upcoming
boat show on Victoria Island, a picturesque vacation retreat off the coast of
Florida—and the perfect place to recruit wealthy businesspeople.
Someone is stealing from property
developer Jack Rutledge, and he needs the help of a discreet accountant. He
asks Ava to audit his company books and in return he will introduce her to
potential clients. But soon things turn dangerous. As their partnership becomes
personal, it could add up to love or a fatal miscalculation.
An Excerpt:
“Speaking on behalf of
everyone on the management team, we wanted you to know how much we value your
dedication and achievements.” Lines around Maggie’s mouth creased as she pursed
her lips.
“Having said that”—she peeked at
her watch before she continued—“unfortunately, we don’t think you’re the best
qualified candidate for the job. And so, we wanted to let you know we have
selected another candidate for the position.”
What?
The butterflies in Ava’s stomach
dropped like an out-of-control roller coaster cresting the top and rushing down
the hill. Coldness washed over her. She squeezed her eyes shut, hoping tears
would not leak out. She squashed a memory of her high school guidance counselor
frowning over her grade report and recommending she consider other careers
instead of applying to college.
All those years of hard
work. What had it all been for?
She stared blankly
at the woman she had considered a mentor who had singlehandedly derailed
her career ambitions in under
thirty seconds.
