Lost in the City of Light (ePub)

Sylvia Trocadero, a junior-level corporate lawyer, is a rising star at Taylor & Hitch Investment Strategies. She is a talented, intelligent young woman with a brilliant academic background, superb debating skills, and an uncanny intuition. Success, both in her career and personal life, seems assured until her bosses give her a seemingly impossible assignment¿one which the senior, more experienced lawyers in the firm have all failed.

She is tasked with persuading a bestselling novelist to sign a lucrative, multi-million dollar contract which the writer persistently rejects for some mysterious reason. Undaunted, Sylvia meets the man in Paris, determined to succeed and receive the incredible bonus and promotion she's been offered as a reward.

But almost from the start, the client's stubbornness and his contempt for her test not only Sylvia's professional acumen but her very soul. She winds up following the man all over the city, fighting him over his puzzling refusal to sign. But in the process, her world is turned upside down.

Both the writer's words and the unusual places they visit, including an astonishing discovery beneath the streets of Paris, resurrect a long-lost dream in her heart and a terrible tragedy from her past. By the end of the assignment, Sylvia is faced with a frightening choice and must determine whether her true desires are worth losing everything she's accomplished.
