Crossfire: Driftwood
Driftwood is the first book in the Driftwood Trilogy, and is closely related to the Crossfire Trilogy, featuring many of the same characters, and offering the surprise appearance of a beloved character from Crossfire.
Dr Nancy Kendall went to Mozambique to forget her troubles. Instead she ends up saving the life of an unconscious and badly injured man who had washed out on the beach during the night. A man who carried no identification, but whose clothes and equipment suggested a deadly occupation.
But when he finally recovers consciousness, she discovers that he has no memory of his name or of his past. Could she allow herself to love the beautiful amnesiac with the captivating green eyes and long copper hair, or would she find herself in grave danger when he remembered who and what he was?

About the author
Niki Savage
14 books34 followersI love writing for the escapism it offers, allowing me to inhabit a world of my own choosing. For that reason, I am also an avid reader, immersing myself in the imaginings of other writers. And movies, well, don't get me started. I go into withdrawal if I don't see at least two new movies a week.
I love chocolate, and consume the products of the cocoa bean every day. Not really into ice cream, though, chocolate or otherwise.
In my spare time, I run a small shelter for feral cats, and find it very rewarding.

This was great. As great as it was when I first read it a few years ago. It is a short novella in the fabulous Crossfire series, but as much as I enjoyed it, it unfortunately posed more questions than gave answers. What now? What's going to happen next?
Well, the moment I realised the author had written two more novels at the crossover between the initial trilogy and the events in this short story, I had to put everything else in my kindle aside and get on board, as now there is a chance that I'll finally have my questions answered. Best place to start, of course, is re-reading this novella. Next will be revisiting the whole Crossfire trilogy, because despite remembering pretty much everything at the emotional/relationships-based level in the books, and all the characters, I cannot remember any of the intrigue threads and connections of the story. So despite the thousands of other books waiting for my attention, I totally feel in the mood for a re-read. They have all been terrific examples in the Romantic intrigue genre, and this one in particular shares more than a little with The Bourne Identity: a man is found washed away on a beach badly injured. A young doctor on holiday finds him and nurses him back to health to discover he has completely lost his memory. Gradually some clues appear that lead them both to speculate that he might be either a high calibre criminal, a mercenary or a fully sanctioned government spy. The romantic element adds to this scenario, and if some people may find this implausible, let's just remember that even the great Robert Ludlum made Jason Bourne fall in love in between assignments. Shame on Hollywood from denying us the full extent of the relationship, as the Bourne in the books gets married and has kids. Let's get to discover what Niki Savage has in stock for Karl and Nancy.
I cannot understand how this very accomplished romantic thriller writer is not more popular. I have loved her books.
