Tender Offer (Paperback)

A married businesswoman finds her career and home in jeopardy when she falls in love with an enigmatic man she meets in Brazil. Her life becomes a whirlwind of lust, betrayal, guilt and conflicting emotions as she struggles to protect her family even as her passion drives her unrelentingly into the arms of the unknown. Sandrina Favonian is a brilliant and beautiful businesswoman whose life resembles a fairy tale. Having created a successful international public relations business and a stable and happy home life in Manhattan with her husband Michael Morgan and their children Chase and Vanessa, Sandrina seems to have nothing lacking in her enviable existence. This picture-perfect life is turned upside down when a chance encounter with a handsome and complex stranger, Warren Waterhouse, throws Sandrina's pleasant but ordered world into instant chaos. Against a backdrop of exotic locales, arcane magic, and fast-moving business deals, Sandrina and Warren begin a torrid affair. As their feverish trysts become ever bolder and more dangerous, Sandrina finds herself lying to her loving husband and children, neglecting her business duties and spiraling downwards in a vortex of her own making. Sub-plots involving business intrigue, family dynamics, high-society and marital relationships, keep this novel paced like a race-horse to the finish line. Tender Offer is above all a story of self-discovery that every woman can identify with. Sandrina is an alluring character whose intelligence, charm and beauty are surpassed only by her strong moral compass and her unswerving belief in honesty and loyalty. However, her passionate love for Warren, and temporary loss of self, winds up compromising thesebeliefs, forcing her to reassess her choices and motivations in an otherwise charmed life. www.jessicadeerohm.com
