Fatal Connection
Description
A grand celebration begins inside a flamboyant villa, nestled in the vineyards of Sicily’s La Cosa Nostra. Rosa, a common servant, stars in a wedding production that leads to rains of torment and an ominous forecast from an Italian Mafia leader. “I thee wed” spreads darkness and light across the Atlantic, unleashing its presence into the United States. . .
David Stratford finds his world torn apart when crashing his motorcycle near Westminster, NY. Little does he know that his accident has shared a connection to the Italian bride and an infamous Sicilian murder—a forecast that is guaranteed to transform his life forever.
In Sicily, Rosa finds love and struggles to stay alive under the auspices of an Italian Mafia and its international winery. Betrayed by trust and tangled into a web of conspiracy, La Cosa Nostra rules her life. Meanwhile, in NYC, David recovers from his accident to establish a leather fashion business—a designer’s paradise until sinister characters threaten to destroy it. Looking for direction, he finds love in the wrong places. His future course becomes anyone’s guess.
Rosa and David, while independent and living continents apart, are swept away by uncalculated odds, seemingly beyond their control, yet somehow connected to a common purpose: they both seek happiness. They press through dark alleys and deserted shipyards to find it. They glimpse it in shining temptations that lure them into the finest NYC has to offer or the dregs of a Sicilian cafe. Wild imaginings, death threats, and wrong choices remind them where they have missed their marks.
Aside from an ocean that divides them, a purpose that directs them—what is the amazing link that binds these two separate lives together?
The Tyrrhenian Sea washes the shoreline in Sicily from beginning to end. Its waves guard the conclusions for murder, sequestered love, deceit—and whatever honor and credibility can merit along the way. La Cosa Nostra guards the unthinkable secrets.
About the author: Jordan Stone has lived no ordinary life but one full of life’s surprises. Devoted to her four children and friends, she is also dedicated to literary pursuits, serving many years as a successful, published writer for a local periodical.
Learning valuable lessons along the way, she has traveled to many of the locations in her book. Taking detours into rags and riches, she has discovered that life’s greatest treasure is bestowed by human kindness and respect, and the only way to gain that treasure is to recognize that true happiness comes when living from the heart.
