Leigh Fleming combines a contemporary, international love story with a suspenseful mystery in her entertaining new novel, "Precious Words" (published by iUniverse).
Currently ranked number two in the world, Italian tennis pro Niccolo Bartoli seemingly has it all, but finds himself apathetic towards his career and lonely for someone special in his life. Emberly Fallon, a smart, beautiful American attorney heads to the U.K. for a dream vacation. She is haunted by her complicated parentage, hoping to avoid making the same mistake her mother made.
Several chance encounters lead Niccolo and Emberly to a love they can't deny; however, someone isn't happy about Niccolo's success and Emberly finds herself pulled into a sinister plan to ruin his career.
An excerpt from "Precious Words":
"Nico's smile faded and he stared silently at Emberly. She watched his eyes trail from her face to her long blond hair, which lay casually across one shoulder. He seemed to be drinking her in as his gaze settled back on her face. It felt like an eternity before he spoke. 'Hello,' he said softly without taking his eyes off her."
