Nemesis

Detective Sandra Meinke does the real work off-hours. Her arrogant boss in the Hamburg police department dismissed her theory about a series of child kidnappings, so she has covertly investigated during her free time—until one day she makes a serious mistake that catapults her directly into the criminal underbelly.

Navy SEAL Daniel Eddings is the first person who believes Meinke’s suspicions about the connection between the disappearances. Together they find a series of clues that lead them to a sinister society of wealthy citizens with a horrifying agenda. As the danger and intensity of Meinke and Eddings’s work brings them closer, they discover a growing mutual attraction. Up against powerful people who will stop at nothing to preserve their interests, the two must fight to protect the innocent—and each other.

She has published fifteen novels—crime stories, thrillers, and romantic suspense—in German, and some of her books have been translated into Bulgarian.

When not writing or thinking up new stories, she’s riding her motorcycle, reading a book, or spending time at the ocean. Ross lives near the Baltic Sea with her husband and son. She’s addicted to coffee, whiskey (single-malt only!), and spending time with her two guinea pigs. She is a member of International Thriller Writers and Sisters in Crime. Nemesis: Innocence Sold is her English-language debut.
