Helen Quinn is single mother to her baby son, Matthew. She works in a museum, and her speciality is all things Egyptian. Matthew’s father and family haven’t wanted anything to do with the child since his birth. Until recently. Helen has the constant threat of Matthew’s grandmother fighting for custody of the baby, but she doesn’t know why. Her roof needs fixing, and she’s awaiting news from the bank about a loan she requested.
Imagine her surprise when she opens the door to a man who accuses her of already borrowing money from his loan shark uncle. A vast sum of money. Though good looking, Helen doesn’t appreciate this man barging into her home with his demands. Conscious of her baby in the house, she tries to work out how to get rid of him. However, the man has other ideas…
Lorenzo arrives at Helen’s to retrieve the money she borrowed from his uncle Gino. Unaware she has a child, he demands that she accompany him to his uncle’s house to explain why she hasn’t repaid the money. Armed with a photograph as evidence of Helen borrowing the money, he persuades her to go with him.
While Helen takes Matthew to her friend’s, Lorenzo snoops around Helen’s home to find more evidence that she has borrowed the money. He doesn’t believe her claims that she didn’t borrow a cent.
Once at Gino’s, it becomes apparent that Helen is telling the truth and that her twin sister, Audrey borrowed the cash in Helen’s name. The plot unravels. Helen and Lorenzo follow Audrey’s trail and, upon finding a scary package and having one delivered, Helen realises her sister is involved in something beyond anything she would have imagined. Sinister Egyptian priests are after Audrey and have been since the sisters were children. Audrey, intent on finding out why their parents were killed, has dragged Helen into a web of intrigue, thrills, and corruption.
Helen and Lorenzo must find Audrey—who has gone to Egypt—and get her out of danger. A solid main plot, brilliantly weaved sub-plots, Hide and Seek is a thrill a minute. A romance tale of the highest calibre, this is one of my favourite tales so far this year. Join Helen and Lorenzo on their quest to solve the mystery of Helen’s past. I guarantee you won’t regret it. After all, Lorenzo is one man you’ll want to fall in love with time and time again.
