Beschreibung

Havana, 1958: the perfect kidnapping. . . . until no one will pay the ransom.
 
Ariana Rojas is alluring, intelligent, sophisticated, and wealthy – at least until a brutal dictator steals the family fortune. Determined to get back what she lost; she joins the revolution. It isn’t long before she hatches a clever scheme, the perfect crime, to recover what she once had while getting revenge at the same time. She arranges the kidnapping of Jimmy Foster, a wealthy American who spends weekends in Havana with his gorgeous wife Darlene.
 
Even with meticulous planning, Ariana makes one crucial mistake. She never dreams that Darlene Foster won’t pay the ransom. But with a missing husband and a huge inheritance, Darlene has options she likes a whole lot more.
 
The Drop has a unique cast of characters: a Mafia casino manager, an unbearable wife, a mysterious detective, and revolutionaries in name only. Ariana manipulates all involved to affect an outcome few can predict, none can imagine, and all will enjoy.

    Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope's performing a palm reading, a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in, accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture. The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of the sisters' grandmother, Gram, who announces that one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction…but why has a solitary Tarot card—the Fool—been placed on the body? When another of Gram's friends dies in similar circumstances, with the Fool card also left at the scene, it's surely no coincidence. Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card's meaning before the killer strikes again?

    Christian Ward, a young billionaire carrying the legacy of a murdered father, believes his wealth and empire make him untouchable. But when anonymous threats unravel his carefully built life, he discovers that danger is closer than he ever imagined. His quiet assistant, Emma Cole, isn’t who she claims to be—her life and secrets are woven deeply into his family’s past. 
    From glittering corporate skyscrapers to the shadows of ancient temples, Christian and Emma are thrust into a battle against mercenaries, hidden conspiracies, and a betrayal that cuts deeper than blood.
