DAUNTLESS

Kyra Hainesley operates a dance studio along the North Pacific coast, single at twenty-three-years-old and still searching for the perfect soulmate. Curious about distant relatives and eager to meet them, Kyra’s plan for a visit draws consternation from her mother, who forbids any attempt to make contact. A dashing theater actor named Daniel sweeps the ballerina off her feet, enticing Kyra into a fairy-tale romance, too good to believe. When she joins him in Connecticut for his mother’s funeral, however, a chilling dynamic emerges between Daniel and his uncle. Compounded by the presence of two mysterious men attending the service from afar, the circumstances lead Kyra to question her boyfriend, who either cannot, or will not, provide answers.

A nagging dread looms within the small-town girl’s mind. Perhaps she’s reaching too far, daring to involve herself with a wealthy international stage performer, a worry confirmed when a pair of attackers ambush the couple on a dark London street. Daniel suffers a stab wound and summons a man and a woman to his hotel room. After driving Kyra to a secluded, unlit hanger at Heathrow Airport, the female returns her to California aboard a private jet, coerces her to sign a government document and warns Kyra to forget everything she witnessed that night.

Separated from the stage actor for weeks, his phone disconnected, Kyra's investigation leads her to believe Daniel’s theater role concealed his true purpose in London. She contrives a ruse to infiltrate the British Embassy in Washington D.C., hoping to send him a message. Can she contact Daniel without violating the non-disclosure agreement signed against her better judgement and avoid landing herself in federal prison? What happened to Daniel that prevents him from contacting her? Did he survive the knife attack in London? Will Kyra see her missing love again?
