About
Recipient of the Manhattan Book Award Silver Seal, Red Flash is a suspenseful romantic thriller that plunges into the dangerous underworld of rare gemstones, betrayal, and desire. When a mysterious red stone vanishes deep in the Brazilian rainforest, its disappearance ignites a deadly chain of events stretching from the jungles of South America to the opulent mansions of Denver, Colorado.
At the center of the intrigue stands Sërg Stanovic, a powerful gem dealer whose empire is built on secrets, and Dominick, his idealistic younger brother, who is drawn into a web of corruption, murder, and forbidden love. Torn between loyalty and conscience, Dominick must navigate a perilous world where beauty and greed collide-and where the shimmer of a gemstone hides a far darker truth.
Blending mystery, romance, and international suspense, Red Flash reveals the brilliant and brutal world of high‑stakes gem trading, where every sparkle has its shadow and every secret its price. It also opens the sweeping Gem Provenance Legacy, a romantic‑suspense series that follows the Stanovic family across decades and continents as a murdered child, a vanished cache of rare paraíba tourmalines, and the legend of a fabled red diamond pull them ever deeper into danger.
