Publisher's Synopsis
In this thrilling sequel to Desperate Pursuit in Venice, Kataryna Taylor and Francesco Barone travel to Brazil to complete the due diligence for an acquisition, which could change how the most dreadful diseases in the world are treated. Plants grown in the Amazon rain forest owned by a Brazilian company may offer a revolutionary treatment, which could catapult Kataryna's biomedical company to the top and leave all other competitors behind. Even though Luca desperately tries to prevent Kataryna from taking this challenging and potentially dangerous trip, he realizes that she is determined to make this acquisition to bring a more natural treatment without the usual debilitating side effects of existing chemotherapy to the market. Kataryna's inexperience in this arena and in the rain forests of South America, however, call for the expertise of Roberto Silvestri whom Kataryna hires as a consultant despite the vile and life-threatening situation he caused for her and Luca a few months ago. The still unresolved family secret is weighing heavy on Kataryna when she and Francesco embark on the challenging business trip to Brazil. While Kataryna and Luca plan their beautiful life together, which is endangered by a complication no one saw coming, the Romano family is racing against the clock to save the lives of their loved ones and prevent a powerful international group from carrying out its horrific mission.
