In it, we have Jessie Golden, an utterly beautiful Dutch journalist. She lives a good life as an energetic career woman, as she travels the world on assignments.

She comes across a secret folder filled with information on a certain family that leads her to an interesting woman and her son. She soon discovers more than she bargained for. Her mission in life is one she is completely unaware of, but nonetheless, it’s of utmost importance. Jessie suddenly has a lot going on in her life and things get complicated. As the story progresses, Jessie’s life is in jeopardy and things are not as they seem.

They are well developed and fleshed out. There are many characters in this book that are all easy to get to know, and to follow their subplots. Jessie is stubborn, funny and pretty – every man’s dream and every woman’s envy.
