It's been ten years since Morgan Shaw said, "I do" to Adam, her Wall Street banker husband. But rather than days of champagne and flowers, the decade has buried their passion. Now they have a mutual plan for seduction, each wanting to bring the sex back into their sex life...in daring, explosive ways. Also daring is Morgan's latest obsession with the mysterious locked White Star box. Adam is convinced Morgan's fixation isn't healthy. Especially now that she's risking her life to unearth its secrets. But can Adam reach Morgan in time to convince her of their love before she walks willingly into a killer's twisted web? Perhaps what they discover holds more magic than they realize?
A decade ago Morgan Shaw married Adam, a workaholic Wall Street banker. Now looking back she concludes he is married to his job. Still they agree to go on a special anniversary second honeymoon to France until his job forces him to cancel the trip. At the end of her rope, Morgan decides to go alone leaving a stunned Adam left behind in New York. Her objective is to find the missing White Star amulet in which she has the box that once contained it. However, someone else has other plans for the amulet and eliminating a nosy American is not a problem. Adam knows he misses his wife and worries her obsession will lead to danger so he follows her to Europe. Though Morgan's reason for leaving her spouse behind makes sense her efforts to continue to seek the amulet once she realizes the danger seems off kilter; a hazardous by-product of most amateur sleuth tales. Still she is a delightful individual whose actions force her spouse to realize what he might lose. Fans of second chance at love mixed in with a tense thriller that requires a bit of acceptance will enjoy a walk on the Wilde side with Morgan as their guide. Harriet Klausner
