"Exciting romantic suspense"
Alyssa Rossi fled New Orleans for Florence, Italy
because her memories of her hometown are all ugly after the
betrayal from her loved ones. She succeeds in opening
Rossi Designs, a costume jewelry business that performs
quite well. Alyssa heeds her Aunt Theodore Canali's advice
to sell her company to TriTech and go home as part of the
purchase. Upon returning from Patagonia, TriTech CEO Jake
Williams is shocked to learn that minority business partner
Clay Duvall purchased Rossi Designs. He needs to know why
because the small company is outside the obvious profile of
his firm's core competencies. Uncomfortable with this
particular acquisition, Jake gets even more paranoid when
he sees Alyssa is a dead ringer for Clay's wife. Though a
relatively small venture for what TriTech normally
acquires, Jake makes inquiries to better understand Clay's
motive. As Jake and Alyssa begin to fall in love, everyone
within their radar has their own dangerous plans that could
harm either or both of them. CLOSER THAN SHE THINKS is an exciting romantic thriller
that runs on all cylinders from start to finish. The story
line is filled with action and romance as the suspense and
tension heat to the melting point. Jake and Alyssa make a
delightful duo and the support cast amplifies the plot by
fostering their own desires at the peril of the key
couple. Meryl Sawyer exhibits why she is a New York Times
best selling author with this extremely effective novel. Harriet Klausner
