    About this ebook

    Beth Scott, a high-profile New York divorce attorney, has a penchant for facing off against the abusive spouses of her clients. But after a brutal attack at the hands of a violent intruder, she must fight for her own life. Her arduous recovery, suffused with psychological scarring and interwoven with the hunt for her assailant, gives way to an impassioned love story.

    As detectives search for suspects, Beth must confront not only her physical condition but also her emotional one. Conflicting feelings for an old flame and the handsome doctor who saved her life create a complicated, impassioned love triangle.

    Meanwhile, detectives focus on obvious suspects, particularly the hostile husbands of the women Beth represents. Before long, however, new possibilities emerge and the case proves more complicated than the detectives ever imagined. A murder, threatening letters, secret codes, and chilling new clues seem to point to the involvement of a dangerous criminal organization. Part mystery, part romance, part medical thriller, The Secondary Target captivates readers as it juxtaposes Manhattan’s elite with some of the city’s darkest characters, creating a fast-paced and suspenseful page-turner that draws readers to its gripping conclusion.

    Diane Lynn

    Since childhood, Diane’s passion has been writing. She grew up in Virginia and loved reading and writing early on, particularly mysteries. But, as an adult, a growing family and a career in surgical nursing and emergency medicine sidelined that passion. Throughout this time, however, Diane never lost sight of her dream. She read mysteries and romance novels, took writing courses, attended workshops and conferences. So, when her life slowed down, she jumped right into writing, infusing it with her life and professional experiences. The result: a remarkable first novel that seamlessly weaves mystery, romance, and medicine into a fast-paced thriller. Her exciting debut quickly reached the Top 100 list in two Amazon categories – Psychological Literary Fiction and Romantic Literary Fiction. Diane is an inspiration to women everywhere. She believes that you are never too old to pursue your dreams: “If you can dream it, you can do it,” she says. And, she is a perfect example that dreams come true, no matter where you are in life. She did not begin writing The Secondary Target until her retirement years, when her family and work responsibilities were behind her. She now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where she and her attorney husband raised two children. Currently, she is working on a sequel to The Secondary Target.
