{"product_id":"2940157828219","title":"Ghost of Shadybrook","description":"Steve Wilkes' life as a well-trained Freelancer had been well structured, organized, luxurious, and all he knew since being unwittingly recruited by a man named David, as a teenager. All he knew since the night David took him was the work he had been groomed to do; that was to kill, protect, chaos, or bringing order – whatever his job called for he did it, and he had built quite a reputation during his time with the Agency.\u003cbr\u003e That was two years before his happy-go-lucky life of impulse and debauchery in Shadybrook, that his life as a Merk came to an end, thanks in large to Jasmine, a woman he met in Spain while on a mission. She taught him other things, desire primarily. And after he introduced her to a life of luxury, she married a man, Aston Chrissenbaum, a wealthy American businessman who used her as a front for his family friendly business ventures around the world. And being that she was a trophy-wife she missed Steve terribly, so she convinced him to come live in the small military-science town, but his moving there came with a task, one that he did not know if he wanted to accomplish. And then came Alyssa. With Jasmine nowhere ready to give up the money that came with marriage, Steve had lived the life of a bachelor, on call to Jasmine when she got lonely or Aston was away on business. When Alyssa arrives he quickly attaches to her because of a kinship she has no qualms showing, one that he will soon discover has its roots very close to home. She teaches him a final lesson, how to properly use love and lust. But there is something else she's about to teach him: That all choices, all happiness comes with a very high price tag for some people. A price that either he or Jasmine will have to pay – Or are they all pawns in a wide web of deceit.","brand":"Far Winds Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179696177392,"sku":"2940157828219","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157828219_p0.jpg?v=1764102756","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157828219","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
