Katrina (Trina) Petrov, the Alliance First Wife whose husband, Fedor, committed suicide a year ago, doesn't want to attend the meeting with her First Wife friends set to occur during the anniversary of her husband's death. She'd been traveling in Venice just prior to that time and decided to use her knowledge as a former flight attendant to travel back to the U.S. in a way that would cause bad weather to delay her return long enough to avoid the meeting at the Texas home she inherited. While stuck in Florida overnight, she goes to the hotel bar to grab a late dinner, ordering a variety of food items right before the hotel's kitchen stopped serving. While awaiting her meal's arrival, a good looking cowboy-type takes a seat near her and tries to strike up a conversation, which she rebuffs. Once her food comes, he asks to order something also, only to be told that the kitchen has closed. Trina is persuaded by his desperately eyeing her food to offer to share it and they strike up a conversation while eating.
Country music superstar Wade Thomas is somewhat intrigued by the dark-haired beauty sitting next to him at the hotel bar. First, by her avoidance of his effort to strike up a conversation, but way moreso once he realizes she really doesn't recognize him or his famous name. Once they begin to chat while eating her dinner, which they continue after dinner in the hotel lobby, Trina opens up to him about her efforts to avoid returning to Texas to get together with her friends. Wade offers to assist her in this endeavor by offering Trina a ride back to Texas in his private jet, with a short sidetrip through Nassau. Trina gladly accepts. And so begins their friendship.
What Wade doesn't know, is how really problem-filled Trina's life has been and continues to be since her husband's death. Her husband's father, Ruslan, is hell bent on finding a way to get at the huge oil company inheritance Trina received from her former mother-in-law and his ex-wife, who died within a few weeks of her son's death (although she had lapsed into a coma prior to Fedor's death and was unaware he predeceased her). Ruslan is ruthless and will not stop until he succeeds in getting what he wants.
This story continues the saga begun in the first volume of the series and, just like that story, does a wonderful job with both character and storyline development. There are a substantial number of mysteries that need to be solved and resolved and there is significant intrigue created in this regard.
Interestingly, most of these mysteries are solved by the completion of this book, so I am looking forward to learning what intriguing circumstances will be created in the coming stories. There's only one way to find out, and I have every intention of doing just that.
