Hot Ice in Roman Ruins

Kay Etom is vacationing in Rome, Italy from North Carolina when things go wrong. Her experience working in the US State Department in Zagreb, Croatia did not prepare her for the life and death struggle she was about to face as an unsuspecting “mark”. This isn’t your typical international suspense novel. At the book’s core is Kay Etom, a 40-year-old gun-toting, motorcycle riding, intuitive healer who happens to be a former State Department employee and is now a school counselor. Mote brings in crisp details of Rome that asks what beauty is and where humanity is going. Kay Etom follows not only her heart, but her convictions. She is an memorable character who wants to experience the richness of food, nature and travel, and most of all love. Read this book for its cultural references, suspense, and passion, and come away with a greater insight into why a life lived authentically matters.
