"A fun fantasy romantic thriller"
Wealthy recluse Leonard Hamilton a offers deal to Pulitzer
Prize journalist Jordan Walker that the latter cannot
refuse. In exchange for his cooperation in writing an
authorized biography with no strings attached, Jordan is
to learn what really happened to his son Todd, who
recently died in a boating incident on Chesapeake Bay
along with his alleged boyfriend Glenn Borrow.
Unbeknownst to either man, the Crandall Consortium is
interested in Todd also especially since he and Glenn
somehow busted into a highly guarded facility Maple Creek
in Princes George County, Maryland. Interestingly, a
friend asks Congressional Aid Lindsay Fleming to look into
what happened to one of the Maple Creek guards. At Senator Conroy's party, though strangers Jordan and
Lindsay exchange a warm embracing glance across a crowded
room. When they meet, he touches her hand and both are
stunned. That night he dreams of seeing her naked while
she fantasizes in her sleep of being with him. As the two
connect, they work together to learn what happened at
Maple Creek with neither prepared for the danger they
encounter or for the love they feel. BEYOND CONTROL is a fun fantasy romantic thriller that
plays out on two interwoven levels. The story line is
action-packed from the opening sequence when Maple Creek
is invaded and never slows down until the lead couple
learns what happened there and to Todd. The tale also
contains a delightful romance between Jordan and Lindsay
that starts off with A Strangers in the Night encounter at
Conroy's gala and plays out on physical and paranormal
planes. Though the military- scientific complex seems
delightfully over the top, Rebecca York provides a strong
suspense-laden romantic tale. Harriet Klausner
