Journeys

by Anne Azel

Against the exotic backdrops of some of the most beautiful places on earth, three very different pairs of women learn about life and love... far from home. Petra Vossler is sent by her father to evaluate Quin Venizelos, their Canadian company's successful, yet mysterious, division manager of the Far East. Quin personifies the business cliché that knowledge is power, but when Petra arrives in Hong Kong, Quin learns that unrequited attraction is powerful, too. East meets West as these two strong, opinionated women clash and unexpected romance flares. Alex and Sarah are lovers who parted ways many years ago. Alex finds the courage to travel across the world to try to rekindle the love she once had with Sarah. In wild Africa amidst exotic cultures, Alex and Sarah struggle to find trust and commitment as they are unwittingly lured into a deadly plot of political intrigue. South Laurie and Danielle are old friends divided by time and South Africa's turbulent politics. Now, many years later, Lauri returns to South Africa as a reporter, and asks Danny to show her the new South Africa. Laurie hopes to win Danny's heart, but Danny is held back by her strict religious upbringing. The trip explodes into violent passions when Danny must deal with a dangerous poacher to save the woman she has come to love. Pack lightly. Everything you need for a memorable trip is here, in the pages of Journeys.
