The Letter - Paperback

Dr. Allana Wilson, a world-renowned nuclear physicist, enjoys a quiet and structured existence until she receives a letter from a brother who was reported lost in the mysterious sinking of a U.S. nuclear submarine years earlier. Before she can even regain her senses from the revelation that he is alive, party or parties unknown ransack her home, apparently after the letter. The only person she finds herself able to turn to is Remy Davenport, a government agent assigned to perform the final review of the key nuclear project she is spearheading.All of this happens in a matter of days, and Allana believes she's hit rock bottom when she shocks herself by sleeping with the visiting agent.Then things get worse.Thrown together, Allana and Remy find themselves caught up in an imponderable military and government conspiracy with terrifying implications and are forced to flee for their lives from hit squads that will stop at nothing, including murder, to keep that conspiracy from being discovered. Their flight leads them from Washington, D.C. through the eastern U.S. to Ontario, Nova Scotia, and eventually Newfoundland. There they face the greatest challenge of their lives, fighting to avert a nuclear disaster as part of an ad hoc team consisting of a D.C. federal agent, a squad of former Special Forces soldiers from Montana, and three Canadian civilians.Despite their differences and the mayhem stalking them, love begins to grow.But will it ever get a chance to blossom?
