COMING SOON – A WIDOW’S TALE
In this novel author Frances Paul
introduces a complex and driven young lady determined to uncover the truth surrounding
the murder of her parents and to bring to justice the people responsible for the
cruel act.
Executed by a man her father called friend and orphaned at ten years old, Savio Cardozo, Karina’s father’s second in command adopted her. He also inherited the Navarre billion dollar empire. He genuinely loved and treated Karina as his own but his love did not eradicate the pain and rage she harbored in her heart since that dark night. Powerless to control her rebellious arrogance, he sent her away to live with a former KGB officer, Sasha Glukhov. He was contracted to train and turn her into one of the world’s deadliest markswoman, and he succeeded in doing so.
After eight years of taking her under his
wing, she was ready to introduce Karina Navarre to the underworld. A girl who has
been discarded and forgotten. She
married Thian Cardozo, Savio’s son, after inheriting his father’s position as
the head of the Navarre Organization. The unprecedented move was to make them
resilient and a powerful house. However, a little over a year into their sacred
union, Thian Cardozo is assassinated. Just as her folks. Slaughtered in a dingy
alley and disposed of like a piece of garbage.
Karina’s heart drowned in deep agony. Fueled by her grief, she sets off on a breathtaking journey of twists and
turns, fighting in a world
where women are deemed inferior. But she’s determined to avenge the deaths of
those she lost, even
if that means risking everything including her own life in the process.
Karina Navarre has a list,
and she’s crossing off names…one by bloody one.
Would she survive long enough to accomplish
her mission?
Thrilling, unpredictable, fast-paced, and powered by a grieved widow’s inexorable sense of duty.
A trained killer. One kill list. A world of hurt.

Her clever actions permits him to pay close attention to himself and his behavior. Lastly, he sought for help. It was a challenging journey but like all positive life changing lessons, the real value from them only occurs when we take a chance rather than wither in self-pity.
In his quest for peace, he encounters many but one important relationship that cultivated was the friendship he formed with Courtney Peterson.

But with all their lives obligations and conflicts, will their unique bond be strong enough to hold them together?

Courtney!
Life indeed had been unkind to Courtney Peterson in many forms. Mourning the loss of her parents after a fatal car accident, growing up in an unjust system, and being hated for simply existing. But when all appeared to be lost, favor finds her and gives her the break she sought after but not without some strings attached. Her dreams of starting her own family to make up for the one she lost and hungrily desires is almost impossible to achieve. Then she meets a stranger, a troubled fellow with scars that reflect her own and a bond is molded between two lost souls. They nourished each other’s passion with the bond they shared. Until one day everything changes!
When I created Courtney’s character I had a single vision. A woman of Grace and Substance! But to be labeled with such an honor comes great responsibility. It means to be a woman of great accomplishments, hold positive influence, merits people admire such as morality, generosity, and courage. One is not born with such strong qualities. It is through the experiences of life that such intelligence is earned. Through a past that molds character, determines one’s future and perception of the world.
As Courtney’s character developed, she became more and more real, relatable to every woman I have met through my own life’s journey. The pain and the loss she suffered, the blockages in life that could easily have crippled her but with a little hope and endurance, she persevered.
Her insecurities did play a vital role in her life’s voyage. We live in a world that is so fast-paced and most of the time we are so caught up in this strong desire to have what we want and when we want it. We often times feel entitled that the world owes us an apology, some sort of reparation for our ill-fated fortunes. Instead, why don’t we learn to accept our destinies, build and play the hand we are dealt. This is the persona Courtney embodied.

Sea of Scars
[image error]
I lost everything.
My job. My family. My life…my sanity.
How does a man come back from that? How do you right so many wrongs when the choices you’ve made caused those around you so much pain?
My determination to prove I was strong enough and that my mind and spirit was unbreakable, tore my family apart. By refusing to accept the help I so desperately needed, I caused irreparable damage to the people I loved the most.
After everything I’ve done I didn’t think life would give me a second chance. But then I met Courtney. A beautiful woman with a troubled past, and scars that mirror my own. A woman who somehow manages to breathe new life into my soul.
Now I can’t help but hope that this might be my chance to make things right.
