Book Two - Coin/Hours Duology
by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
FOR ARTIST GABRIELA MARTINEZ, PSYCHOPATHS DO HIT TWICE.
A manuscript, a sick obsession, and only a few hours to live.
A NEW THREAT.
When Arnold Wickham, an unscrupulous art dealer, catches a glimpse of Gabriela's new work, The Book of Hours, he is like a man possessed. Now, he will do anything in order to claim it, and nothing, especially not Gabriela, will stand in his way.
A LOVE TESTED.
Richard Harrison has been gifted with a second chance to protect Gabriela, the woman he loves. In the shadow of this new threat, however, the stakes are now much higher, and there is much more to lose. And if Richard doesn't stay one step ahead of the danger, their lives, their love, but especially their future may very well go up in flames.
Set in California and London, The Book of Hours is a story about greed, obsession, family duty, and, especially, deserved second chances.
This work has received multiple accolades, including winner of the 2019 Recommended Read Medal at Author Shout's Reader Ready Award.
