Sweet Interlude

A/N:  Next story in line, another adaptation from Judith McNaught… from the novel Every breath You Take….

 

 

High atop a hill, the stately old Lim mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely, happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Rodrigo Lim’s eightieth birthday, all the money in the world won’t bring back his missing grandson, Alberto Lim. The only thing for certain: Foul play was involved. The family, the police, the media–all have tried in vain to discover the young man’s fate. Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward Alberto’s own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Richard Lim.

Maya Dela Rosa never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her in a high-society murder case. But after Maya tangles with the darkly charismatic Richard Lim, she finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As the police tighten their net, it will take all of Maya’s ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a dangerous catch, Maya vows to claim the life and love she desires.
