Ady Vaal 2nd Book : Meeting Jacob
|
Chic lit author Ady Vaal’s new thriller, Meeting Jacob, is a sexy, savvy, and quick-moving tale about friendship,
loss, and the incredibly fine line between keeping it all together and utter madness. With a dual plotline that
follows, first, Sandra Jefferies who has the world by a string until her accountant dupes her out of her dream—and
every red cent she has to her name. And second, a young genius named Jacob Monroe who crosses a dangerous line
between interest and obsession, only to find that folly agrees with him. Their paths will cross when Jacob and his
brother, Ollie, buy the French restaurant that was once Sandra’s pride and joy. With her fortune reversed,
Sandra will be facing a new career as a restaurant manager and living on a paycheck—something that she has never
done. Jacob will pull the strings to complicate Sandra’s world, yet, demons from his past will make her future
even more bleak and her road to becoming a self-sufficient adult difficult—and, at times, dangerous.

“What do you mean we've lost everything?”
Sandra Jefferies isn’t just having a bad day. Born with a silver spoon, the
chef-come-restaurateur learns that she has lost everything to a swindling accountant. In a true

They think it is high time she learns how to stand on her own two feet and make her way in the world.
From fashionable debutante with the world on a string to manager in what was once her top Boston restaurant,
Sandra will learn that when you have nothing left to lose, you might just figure it all out.
Chic lit author Ady Vaal’s fascinating new “he said, she said” novel, Meeting Jacob, is part action,
part romance. Playful yet filled with suspense, this meticulously crafted thriller illustrates the line each of
us walks between keeping our wits about us and utter folly. Once again, Vaal continues to create
unforgettable, archetypal characters that show us how we live—and what we can survive.
