Romance Suspense

When business man Ron Raven goes missing from his Miami hotel room, all his well crafted lies of twenty-five years come unraveled. Two wives, two families, two completely separate lives. Megan Raven, Ron's daughter from his first marriage, is determined to find out what happened to her father. The fate of her mother's Wyoming farm rides on it. When Ron disappeared, so did three million dollars he borrowed from a Georgia Bank. A bank who's manager is Adam Fairfax—Ron's other wife's brother.

Adam feels like a complete fool for trusting his brother- in-law to the point where Adam didn't even bother to follow up and personally check out any of the plans Ron showed him to secure the three million dollar loan. Unable to protect his sister Avery from the fall out of Ron's disappearance, Adam takes his anger out on Ron's other family by calling in the loan. But when Megan walks into his office and begs him to reconsider calling in the loan, he ends up joining her on a mission to find the missing money. As things heat up between Megan and Adam, so does their search, leading them to uncover more lies and deceptions.

The first book in a new trilogy from Jasmine Cresswell, MISSING will pull you into the lives of the Ravens and the Fairfaxs. Action packed from start to finish, MISSING grips you in its sordid tale of two families and their attempt to come to terms with the lies they'd been inadvertently living. Megan and Adam's struggle to come to terms with what's happened and their own emerging relationship will leave you feeling for these characters. With lots of questions yet to be answered, readers will eagerly look forward to the next two books in this riveting series.

SUMMARY

For twenty-five years, multimillionaire businessman Ron Raven fooled everyone, successfully playing the loving husband and father to two very different households. But when Ron suddenly disappears, the truth about his deception is revealed. Now two families are left alone with their questions, while the one man who holds the answers is . . . MISSING.

Megan Raven is desperate to save her mother's Wyoming ranch, used as a collateral on a three-million-dollar loan—money that disappeared along with Ron. Worse, the loan is being called in . . . and the manager of the Georgia bank that holds the loan is none other than Adam Fairfax, whose sister just happens to be Ron's other wife.

Adam wants to find the bank's money. Megan wants to save her mother from even more pain. Brought together by the shadow of their families' turmoil, they head south of the border in search of the missing millions. But what they find is a whole new web of lies, secrecy and greed.
