September and the Single Heart — V.I. Zetterwall

TWISTS, TURNS AND SURPRISES IN A MOST UNUSUAL KIDNAPPING Master planner, James Hale, hatches a scheme to kidnap the daughter of a powerful mob boss and hold her for the highest ransom he can imagine. Anne Giamatti, the daughter, is 34 and trapped between her love for her father and her desire to be free from his stranglehold. James assembles a competent but flawed team to pull this off and all goes well until the end. In an ending so unpredictable that even the mastermind was surprised, James realizes that his only barrier to a win…is Anne herself. This novel is a stand-alone story and the ninth in the Single Heart series, which follows events that occur as a new female lead character comes into possession of the Coin of Luck in Life and Love.
