Sage must put romance on hold when she launches an investigation into whether her grandmother’s tragic early death was an accident — or murder. In the process, she may uncover another family mystery — the identity of Sage’s own grandfather, Grandmother’s husband or lover.
Sage Stevens rejects the erotic advances of her current boyfriend; unaware a more desirable man will take his place. Complications arise in the person of an intriguing older man who sends her roses, and a mysterious photograph of a woman wearing a gold necklace that spells the word “Perfect.”
Two men in Sage’s life join her search for truth and long-overdue justice. Seeking the missing branch in her family tree, Sage submits her DNA to a new, untried DNA company. Hackers discover her rare and valuable DNA profile. They threaten her with a grisly fate that was instigated generations ago by an evil regime on another continent.
This steamy love story is not for the faint of heart. If the hacker and his cohorts catch Sage, they will catapult her and a beautiful friend into a hideous new reality of suicidal despair, kidnappings, rape and other unspeakable crimes perpetrated against innocents.
In Perfect! A Story of Love and Suspense, players in the lush, sometimes violent drama gather to bask and play on the beautiful white beaches of Florida’s Emerald Coast.
