"fun romantic suspense"
Having served in the Afghan War, former SEAL Chief Petty
Officer Zach Tremayne returns to his hometown Swann
Island, South Carolina; he hopes the barrier island will
enable him to move past his recent appalling experience of
seeing the deaths of his brothers in arms. Sabrina Swann
also returns to her hometown Swann Island, South Carolina;
she hopes the barrier island will enable her to move past
the appalling deadly terrorist attack on the Florence,
Italy Paradiso Angeli Hotel where she was a waitress. Zach and Sabrina were teen sweethearts so with both coming
home and suffering from post traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD), they naturally come together. As they help each
other move forward, they begin to fall in love. However,
the serene Swan Island of their youth is no more as a
serial killer stalks, tortures and kills women with
Sabrina in his sights. The Coastal Carolina barrier island makes for a perfect
setting for the first High Risk romantic suspense
thriller. The romance is the more fascinating subplot as
two walking wounded struggle to relate in spite of falling
in love; as PTSD does not lead to trust; both knows the
issues are inside them not their beloved. Although the
serial killer element adds suspense and enables Zach to
way too easily shed his PTSD crippling illness to try to
save Sabrina, fans will enjoy the exciting FREEFALL with
its unique romance. Harriet Klausner
