The Blake Legacy — I.C. Camilleri

She is the computer geek, the introvert, bright and beautiful but shy and awkward, an easy prey for ridicule and intimidation. Her unique set of skills in cyberspace pique the interest of the Mafia and she is forced to run, turning her back on her quiet island in the Mediterranean, her sanctuary, her home. He is the British intelligence agent, the extrovert, shrewd and gifted with words but reckless and irresponsible, a bouncing ball of uncontained energy. He has the skills to help her and their paths cross but he decides to defy fate, triggering a treacherous sequence of events. Human nature is indeed twisted, for he only gets to appreciate what he had after it had completely slipped through his fingers. A Fracture in Time is all about that desperate search for an exquisite type of pure love, a love untainted by monetary gains or sexual intentions, a love for the sake of love itself.
