The Jeweled Swan

Alec Windsor is a self-made multi-millionaire who has everything he wants in this romantic thriller-except a female relationship that has depth and meaning. It's not because he's loathsome. On the contrary, at six feet two inches and one hundred and ninety pounds, with pecan-brown skin and green eyes, Alec is as good looking as he is successful. But Alec is tired of superficial relationships with ultrathin models and women who are after his money. He's looking for something long-lasting. Guided by the values of his late mother, who was murdered in front of him when he was only fourteen years old, Alec is looking for real love.Enter Annalisa Mills, a strong female character and a raven-haired beauty with brains and ambition who loves jewels. When Alec catches sight of her at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the annual Met Gala, Alec feels an inexorable pull toward her. He tracks her down and their synergy sets things in motion. But a sordid secret from Annalisa's past and the deep wounds that have molded Alec's present threaten to destroy any chance they have for a happy future.
