HARD RAIN Journalist Alex Derksen’s new assignment in Tanzania should be easy, but he soon finds himself on the wrong side of the news. It starts when he meets Ranna, a beautiful photographer with something to hide. Alex stopped believing in love a long time ago, yet here in the middle of East Africa, it’s found him again. Alex knows a thing or two about chaos—wherever he goes, it follows. When an IT billionaire washes up onshore after seasonal flooding, he finds himself at the center of an investigation with Ranna as the main suspect. It turns out she may have a good reason for hiding her past. Wherever she goes, murder follows. Alex should be used to these cat-and-mouse games, but this time it’s different. Should he listen to his heart and help Ranna throw off the bloody trail leading to her? Or should he use his head and run for his life? Hard Rain is the first book in the Rogue series. The second book is expected in April, 2021. |
