Malee: A Tear in the Ocean

Michael could not have known when he flew into Bangkok to launch a new company that his life would change so dramatically. Working on million-dollar negotiations during the day and spending tropical nights accompanying his Thai-savvy business partner, Drake, through the hotspots of the city, Michael felt respite from the pain of his broken marriage in the exhilaration of Thailand. Yielding to its allure, Michael and Drake jet off to the unspoiled island of Koh Samui to enjoy its intoxicating escapes. There, Michael would meet the woman of his dreams, beginning a sweeping romance that would redefine both of their lives.
Malee, a beautiful young factory worker, caught Michael’s eye in a room filled with hustlers. Following her every move, fate would play its hand—and innocent touch would ignite a passionate love affair. Inseparable, Michael and Malee would spend the following days exploring the riches of Thailand, and nights caught in the embrace of one another’s desires. All was idyllic until Michael had to fly to New York, an extended separation, the first of several to come, that challenged their love and resolve.
Moving seamlessly across three continents, Malee: A Tear in the Ocean is an international romance that by turns takes the reader from the heights of euphoria to the depths of loss. Michael and Malee’s love weaves through culture, misunderstanding, and captivating desire. Wrenching the reader from passion to anguish and back again, Malee: A Tear in the Ocean, beckons you to experience the thrill of their journey.
