Never Say a Word (The Claire Deveraux series Book 2)

Description

Trapped in a twisted game of love and politics, Claire Deveraux must outwit her captors—or become a pawn in a deadly conspiracy.

Claire Deveraux, the deaf but indomitable foreign service officer stationed at the U.S. Embassy in France, finds herself ensnared in a web of treachery and obsession. Abducted during a conference in Rome, she becomes the object of Franco Lazzari’s twisted obsession. A wealthy pharmacist with a dark agenda, Lazzari is looking for his perfect bride.

Isolated in a remote Italian villa, Claire’s hearing impairment makes every step risky. Time is running out, and she must marshal every ounce of her ingenuity to escape her captor’s clutches. But the true peril runs deeper than she knows.

Unbeknownst to Claire, her kidnapper is not acting alone. A high-ranking official within her own embassy is pulling strings, willing to compromise national security to ensure she’s never found. As the walls close in, Claire must unravel a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power.
