Connor Holden, Earl of Featherstone, has it all: looks, money, power. He is a man with a lot to lose. Pride goes before a fall. We all know that to be a universal truth... And Connor is about to find out exactly how far from grace that fall will take him. Part Two of Unfinished Business finds Connor back in King Henry's service. Tucked inside King Louis XII's safe are the blueprints for modern war machines designed by master engineer Leonardo da Vinci. Conner is charged with the delicate and quite illegal task of stealing them back before the French monarch and his military advisers have the opportunity to produce those war machines, which would result in tipping the balance of power in the region. Connor knows, in taking on this mission, he could lose his life. He doesn't care. Losing Reagan has left him feeling that there is not much left to live for... and even more to die for: king, country, and keeping her safe from the aggressors in a war that would certainly touch English soil should he fail in his mission. But as long as he draws breath, there is hope that one day Reagan will return. He just has to survive to fight another day. Will he be able to survive? The odds are against him. If he does survive, how can he find his way back to the one love of his life? Pride and jealousy are his fatal flaws. Is true love enough to bridge the gap? If not, then Connor stands to lose far more than just money and power. He stands to lose his heart and his soul.
About the Author: About The Author Ranay James moved to a small farm in East Texas along with her husband and two dogs after walking away from the fast-paced corporate life in 2012. Ranay graduated from college majoring in accounting and finance with a minor in business management and law. Becoming a romance writer seems a most unlikely path for a woman who spent most of her career managing people and operational practices within the corporate environment. It all began in 2004 on New Year's Day. Having made a list of things that she wanted to accomplish for the year, she added some items to that list that would push her skill set and take her out of her comfort zone. Learning to speak Spanish and write a novel were the two items that she felt would stretch her abilities the most, having no prior training in either. Later that day, Ranay sat down at her computer. Looking at that blank Word document, she wrote the first thing that came into her mind. "What were you thinking?" she wrote, having remembered the line from a dream she had in a hotel room in Houston, Texas in 2002. Several chapters in, Ranay found her voice as the story began to form. It poured out from a place that she never knew existed. Ranay began to write that day in 2004 and never stopped. With twelve published works to her name and nine more completed awaiting publication, Ranay has found a new passion-the love of storytelling and sharing her characters with the world.
