Life is uncertain. Love even more so. Julian was a man who most would envy, the embodiment of what every man wanted to be. Handsome, wealthy, intelligent, sexy, Julian enjoyed a charmed and privileged life but it was also full of dark secrets. Jasmine had nothing -- no money, no home, and no future -- but she carried within her beauty, optimism, and hope, which proved to be more than devil-may-care Julian could resist. The Agency, shrouded in secrecy, directed lives of people, companies and countries like so many pawns on a chessboard. The Agency thought itself omnipotent, until it learned that it was but one of many powerful players on the global stage. Shadowman was what they called him. This mysterious figure and his partners stood high above the all-powerful Agency, above governments and corporations, and pulled the strings in a puppet show they determined would bring them the answer to the ultimate question of man, and with it their unlimited power: What does a man who has everything want? A Rendezvous with Destiny begins with romance, offers hints of mystery and espionage, and ultimately runs headlong into thriller, with a fascinating look at the future of man. Julian and Jasmine fall blindly into love and passion, and find themselves caught in a life-and-death struggle where those who seek power can change the rules at a whim, where the only people you must trust cannot be trusted, and where life and love might be saved or sacrificed at any time.
