Theodora Morgan is fashion royalty. Founder of a wildly popular online shopping service, she is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world, although she prefers to keep a low profile, especially in recent months.
It was a year ago when the unthinkable struck her family — her husband, industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier, and their son, were kidnapped and held for ransom — a nightmare that ended in tragedy.
The case has gone cold, despite evidence linking the crime to Matthieu’s foreign competitors. Theodora has reluctantly gone back to work running her company.
On the flight to a launch party for one of her highly anticipated pop-up shops in New York City, she crosses paths with high-society ‘networkist’ Pierre de Vaumont.
Theodora politely invites him to her event — unaware that Pierre has been flagged by the CIA.
Senior supervising CIA operative Mike Andrews investigates Pierre’s suspicious foreign contacts and clears him to enter the country, but when he realises that Theodora is on the same flight, he becomes concerned for her safety.
Posing as a lawyer, Mike begins a covert mission — starting with Theodora’s opening party. When Mike and Theodora meet, their connection is instant, but Theodora is completely unaware of Mike’s true objective or identity — or that the life she is rebuilding is in grave danger.
Suspects by Danielle Steel is published by Pan Macmillan Australia, RRP $34.99.
