Life can change in the blink of an eye. This is none more
obvious than in the life of Christina Cardiff.
Married to Wall Street wizard Jason Cardiff, Christina had
everything anyone could wish for -- wealth, prestige, a
beautiful son. But her marriage was failing, and Christina
had turned to adultery and alcohol to sooth her soul. When
she finally could no long stand herself or her situation,
she tried to do the right thing, and check herself into a
rehab facility. And it seems things were looking up until
the director of the facility informed her that her husband
Jason had been found dead at their home, having drowned in
the pool.
Suddenly Christina is plunged into a riptide of events that
could threaten to destroy everything that she holds dear in
her life.
Barely sober, Christina rushes home to discover that
Jason's untimely death is being investigated as a homicide,
and that she is a person of interest to the police.
Teetering on the edge of sanity, she calls the one person
she believes she can cling to in this time of desperation,
her lover Danny Cunningham. That turns out to be a bad
idea, as Danny is mysteriously involved in the
circumstances surrounding Christina's husband's death and
he seems determined to bring Christina down the treacherous
path to murder with him.
Author Margaret Carroll delivers a fast-paced, intense
novel of suspense and passion with RIPTIDE. This is a
gritty story filled with the gut-wrenching agony of a
woman's life out of control. Mesmerizing until the very
last page, readers will find this book to be intriguing as
well as slightly exhausting as the main character struggles
to push her head above the waters of betrayal and deceit
surrounding her.
Christina achieved unparalleled wealth and prestige when she
married Jason Cardiff, Wall Street wizard and Mayflower
descendant. But once the cracks in the union began to show,
even the towering privet hedges surrounding their East
Hampton estate could not contain the dark rumors.
Then everything came crashing down . . .
At an exclusive Midwest rehab center, Christina receives the
shocking news that Jason has been found dead in their
swimming pool. The discovery that she's a murder suspect
shatters her newfound sobriety and propels her back into the
dangerous arms of Daniel Cunningham ”the mysterious
blue-collar worker who may have been present the night of
Jason's death. But her rekindled affair could cost Christina
her son, her fortune, and her life” and if she cannot
conquer
her re-emergent demons, the truth and the tide will drag her
under permanently.
