About this ebook

Born in the worst suburb in Pittsburgh, Elaine Brogan is bright, beautiful and bold. When her father is falsely arrested for passing counterfeit $100 bills, Elaine vows to become a Secret Service agent and track down the man responsible. After barely surviving the arduous Secret Service Training Academy in Laurel, Maryland, she is transferred to bleak and blustery Great Falls, Montana. But things do not go as planned, and Elaine soon finds herself betrayed and thrown into an adventure that takes her halfway around the world, from dark and mysterious Sofia, Bulgaria, to Moscow Russia, and finally, to Milan, Italy. In the end, will Elaine find the love and happiness she truly seeks…or will she turn to a life of obscene wealth, power and corruption?

Ratings and reviews

When the lady took so much trouble tp be a Secret Service Agent for her revenge desire, it has been killed by killing the person in middle is a big let out.

To short to be a book. Not much lust, no murder and counterfeit money . I guess you have to buy books 2 & 3. I like the characters and writing styles easy read. So guess I'll buy the other books .

It is,obviously a short read.first few chapters run slow,but then it speeds up. All together a good read!
