Desertislanddelight (2012)
“She sure as hell didn’t care for it. The gunman had his finger on the trigger and he appeared a little too jittery for her comfort.
The water taxi bounced and the man stumbled. She fisted her hands, bracing herself for the pain of a spray of machine gunfire to her chest that, thank God, never came.
“Do what they say, Diana.” Chase Cunningham’s narrowed gaze darted from the gunman to the boat’s pilot then to her. “We’ll be fine. Just stay calm.”
Easy for him to say. Her sister Wendy had warned h...er before her trip that American women were targeted for rape in the Middle East more than other foreign nationals. She clenched her jaw as she handed her captor the eight-hundred-dollar designer purse she’d lusted after for months before she’d given in to the splurge. With any luck she’d live long enough to file an insurance claim.
The man rifled through her bag and tossed a few of her possessions into the Persian Gulf—the hotel room key card, a tube of hand sanitizer.
