Storm Risingis the story of an ice-cool hero and a damsel in distress. Live to Tell, its prequel, concerned a young Army widow being stalked by a terrorist hit man. Her life is saved by Ben Jacobs, an officer in the Int Corps. Three years later our characters have moved on. There are three storms rising: the deadly Adriatic storm The Bora, the growing yet hopeless love Ben feels for Jessica, and the Rising Storm of International Terrorism, that will affect them both. Storm Rising is the story of two people caught up in a situation over which they have no control, unaware what danger awaits them. Ben and Jessica hardly know one another, but in distress each finds comfort in the other. Ben's work takes him to the world's hotspots. He does not expect the worst threat to come from so close to home. Our story starts in war ravaged Montenegro, moves to the calm waters of Venice - to a tense and steamy Washington DC, and a final climax in London.
