The smell of diesel fuel was overwhelming as Jade-R clutched her legs against the pain of her father’s savage beating. After years of looking down the hill at the loading docks in Agana Harbor, she was now in the cargo hold of one of those ships, with no hint of its final destination. As an only child, daughter of the governor of Guam, growing up in the governor’s mansion, she had a life of terrible loneliness, yet extreme luxury, but always felt safe and loved. Now, that was shattered! Sixteen years old and pregnant, she was fleeing her father’s rage and threat of a brutal forced abortion. Curled against enormous bags of rice, she removed her shoe and blood poured onto the dirty floor. Terrified and exhausted from her escape, the vibration of the ship’s engines finally lulled her to sleep. Her ensuing journey would take her across oceans and countries, barely surviving. Death, murder, and a life tiered in terrible deceit! This is the story of The Guamanian Princess. (Read Chapter 1)
Terrified, she glanced back at the mansion. Past the pool, she could see flames billowing up from the burning tiki torches. She felt the hard ground beneath her knees and smelled the sweet scent of lemon blossoms, mixed with all the blood, and heard dogs growling beside her. Was this a curse? Where in this savage part of the world would they find safety? It began during the summer of 1982 in the elegant little town of Redlands, California. Monica, the mayor’s daughter, at the age of twenty-two, met Victor Dimarco, a hotel owner from the British West Indies. She found herself weakened by his charm and drawn to an exotic life. His lure was as powerful as the unexpected flavor in a bite of delicious dessert. Committed to an unfulfilled marriage to David, her childhood friend, she held secrets never told; secrets that, if exposed, would break hearts and sadly destroy the family. Now, during her shattering fling of love in this third-world country, she would endure murder, horrific guilt, and finally beg for redemption. At times, you will be moved to tears as you experience this unforgettable story, a romantic journey like never before! (Read Chapter 1)
