Blackballed CIA operative Sterling must get on a criminal mastermind’s private jet. The real life German Barbie doll in the back of the white stretch was doing all she knew to change Sterling’s plans—again. Despite the doll’s best efforts, the image filling Sterling’s iPhone couldn’t be ignored. The girl is wearing Sterling’s dead lover’s stiletto boots; boots confirmed buried in the rubble of the North Tower on 9/11. Even worse, the girl may already know her mother’s deadly secret—a secret the CIA must keep buried as Sterling works to get another lost love—a beautiful ex-KGB assassin gone rogue—off an MI6 hit list before their time runs out. And what if Sterling opens the little gift-wrapped package the doll’s papa ordered be placed onboard the jet? Dame Jane Sterling and the whole bloody assignment could be blown—sky high!
Stiletto Dolls: a novel of steamy psychological suspense delivers all, except a leading man. The ladies rule in this contemporary twist of Cold War cloak and dagger intrigue dripping with desire, deceit, diamonds, and above all else, denial.
