Glittering Obsession

by Carolyn Wren

Bryce Black can invent, build, or hack anything. Preferring to leave the danger to his fellow operatives at the agency, Bryce is happiest designing gadgets, and pursuing his hobby of creating replica diamonds. He accepts an assignment protecting a fortune of real gems on a blockbuster TV show, and finds himself unexpectedly falling for the lead actress. Katrina Abbott is determined to walk away from her acting career. The loss of privacy and invasion of her personal life have become overwhelming. Bryce has her contemplating a new life, far from the glaring spotlight. But first she needs to film the finale of her wildly popular series. One obsessed fan does not want the show to end, and has a decidedly different view of what Katrina’s future should be.

About the author

I was born in England. My parents loved to travel as my dad spent many years in the navy. By the time I reached the age of 12 we had traveled pretty much around the world on cruise ships.
This sounds fun and exciting unless like me you can get sea sick sitting in a bathtub. Lets just say boats do not feature highly in my books.
I still love to travel, but I use planes. All of my life I have written stories in my head. I would rewrite and add characters to TV shows, edit and change novels I was reading, invent scenarios and scenes to amuse myself on long journeys. But strangely I never wrote any of them down. About three years ago I woke up with a scene so clear in my head I knew I had to put it down on paper. Now, what should I do with this one page of prose? I know, I will email it to some friends. The friends approved, in fact they asked what book it was from. I shyly admitted it was my own work and the reaction was immediate...please write the next bit! I did and I have not stopped writing since.

Calm and methodical, Bryce Black isn’t interested in the thrills his fellow operatives crave. He’s happiest when his hands and mind are busy creating tech for the team and crafting beauty for himself. A routine assignment in a not so routine situation opens his eyes to a new world and a woman who enchants him in a way he can’t ignore. Even better, she finds him equally captivating.

Katrina Abbott’s life has revolved around a fictional character for close to a decade and it’s time to close that chapter of her life. She’s grateful for her fans and wants to give them a finale to remember. Then she’ll have a long-earned rest and maybe she’ll convince the quiet, yet utterly charming guardian of the diamonds she’s been wearing for the show to come with her.

But encountering someone who can’t sort fact from fiction puts Bryce and Katrina’s plans in jeopardy and places more than just the couple’s future relationship in danger.

Another wonderful story from Ms Wren. I love how neither man character was looking for love, yet they were smitten the moment they set eyes on each other, that their feelings and attraction were genuine. I also loved the heightened stakes in the final chapters and Bryce and Katrina’s reaction to the situation. Now I just need to know when the next book is coming out. :)
