Double Bound Synopsis

An exclusive resort is rising on a pristine Brazilian island: lavish suites, world class casinos, imaginative theme architecture. But most important is its elaborate security—it’s going to be the safest locale this side of the Pentagon.

Because of Katharine Tyler’s investment there, her nephew Jeremy journeys with his lover Carlo Martinez and former US Marine Arthur Blauefee to assess the resort’s progress. But for the young man and his companions, their visit proves to be anything but leisurely or safe—because when all seems well, the trio is swept into the clutches of a charming trickster, sensual temptation, kidnapping, murder, a mandate from the US State Department, and an unexpected double-cross, with Aunt Katharine playing puppet master before getting tangled in her own strings.

Although DOUBLE BOUND features the central characters from the award winning novel STRINGS ATTACHED, this is now Arthur’s story: his abuse-filled youth, his precarious years as a gay US Marine, then his treacherous journey to Brazil—where he is challenged to heroism, while agonizing between love and duty and his crippling personal demons.

DOUBLE BOUND—when turning away from the truth only winds tighter the restraints of greed, of unspoken longing, and of lives unfulfilled.
