STOLEN OBSESSION is book #1 in the Annalisse series.
How far would you go to save loved ones from pure evil?

New York antiquities expert Annalisse Drury's best friend has been found in a shallow grave. Her friend's wrist is missing the gold bracelet Annalisse fought to keep her from wearing, due to the centuries-old Persian royal family heirloom that carries a stark warning… The wearer of this jewelry will usher in fatal consequences.

White the murder case is ongoing, Annalisse uncovers a second artifact from the Persian jewels set at a Manhattan gallery opening. She begs the owner to remove the cursed piece, but her pleas are ignored, despite the suspicious death that occurs during the opening. With two crimes suspiciously linked to the jewelry, Annalisse must act.

Desperate, Annalisse enlists the gallery owner's son, Alec, to help. A man she’s drawn to, even though she fears getting close to him. Wealthy and darkly handsome, with a string of bereft women in his wake, Greek magnate Alec Zavos dismisses Annalisse's concerns—until his parents are ripped from the Zavos sailing craft during their ocean voyage near Crete.

Annalisse and Alec race across two oceans to save his parents, feared kidnapped or dead. When the killer changes tactics and goes after Alec behind Annalisse's back, can her plan to rescue Alec's family save them all?
