Prepare
to be initiated into the dirty, seamy side of politics. A world where no one is a friend, where the only people
you can really trust are your enemies.
A world where beliefs you
take for granted are turned on their heads.
Trust Your Enemies weaves the contentious issues of religion, abortion, terrorism, and drugs into one action-packed story of power and corruption, love—and betrayal. |

“Fascinating read. Politics, sex,
scandal,
blackmail,
corruption—
a real page-turner”

Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia |

“Be
careful what you wish for...”
As “The Power Behind the Throne” of Australia’s next Prime Minister, Alison McGuire is just one step from the pinnacle of power and the achievement of her every dream—when she’s ensnared in a web of political intrigue and corruption. Her adversary: the powerful, Machiavellian Senator Frank
McKurn—who plans to use her for his own twisted ends.
In a frantic race for
survival, she must dig up a knockout blow to demolish McKurn before
he destroys her.
But McKurn holds all the
cards. And crossing him is an invitation to wear concrete boots.

“I’m hooked from page one”
—Jo Ann Skousen, writer, reviewer and critic, New York |
| |
In desperation, Alison seeks
the support of an acerbic-tongued newspaper columnist—who ends
up in hospital in a coma. A police sergeant asks too many pointed
questions—and is “reassigned.” A politician with a
heart of gold—who shows his true nature when push comes to
shove. A secretive computer hacker who digs up priceless information
on McKurn’s web of corruption—and is forced into hiding
to save his life.

“The
way you describe Alison McGuire makes
her
the sexiest woman I can
imagine”
— Kirsten Perucci, investor,
Sydney, Australia |
| |
Who else can she trust?
Certainly not Derek Olsson,
her former lover, the man who betrayed her, now her bitter antagonist
. . . who’s nowhere to be found.

“Trust
Your Enemies is a blockbuster! I loved it.
I hope it rockets to the top of the sales
charts . . . it deserves to.
“One of the things I really liked was no typecasting.
The people in government, the Christians, the
cops, the Muslims—even the bad guys—are
all human beings instead of 2D cutouts. And
the hero wasn't perfect either — hallelujah!”
— Ellen Young, editor,
Vermont |

Derek Olsson is on the run.
Wanted by the police—for a murder he claims is the perfect
frame-up . . . by a Triad king who has offered a reward for
his head—without the body . . . by a powerful politician
who must shut his mouth permanently .
. . or spend the rest of his life in jail.
Little do Alison and Derek
know that only by joining forces do they have a chance to survive.
But Alison must first
swallow her anger and bury the hatchet— except their time is
running out . . .
A shadowy contract hit man
is now hot on their trail.
Known only as “The
Assassin,” he has yet to fail . . .

“Wow!
In Trust
Your Enemies you’ll meet
the woman you want
to be—the woman
you hope
your boyfriend NEVER meets!”
— Raquel
Narca, schoolteacher,
Manila, Philippines |

Fiendishly intricate, Trust
Your Enemies is a spine-tingling drama and heart-throbbing romance
with something to inspire (and offend) everyone.
A parable for our time that
plumbs depths of moral depravity and soars to the pinnacle of human
achievement.

“The
average politician thinks ideas don’t (and shouldn’t)
matter, changes his ‘beliefs’ faster than he forgets his
last election ‘promise’—and points to his
vote-winning total to ‘prove’ he’s right.
“Trust
Your Enemies is an intense drama that turns this notion on its
head. Two lone individuals fight for their lives—because they’re also fighting for their principles—against the
overwhelming odds of corrupt politicians more concerned with power
and glory than principles and ideals.
“In
a cliff-hanging climax that will have you holding on to the edge of
your seat, they craftily elude ‘The Assassin’ sent to
silence them forever, bring calamity on the head of the country’s
most powerful, most corrupt politician—and bring down the
government as a mere side effect.
“Trust
Your Enemies is set in Australia. But just as the theme of
Ayn Rand’s We the Living is not the individual versus Russian Communism but man against the
state—any place, any time—the theme of Trust
Your Enemies is the individual against the inevitable
corruption of politics . . . in your local and national legislatures, and in your country's presidential suite”
— Michael
Morrison, editor,
Chattanooga, Tennessee |
