Plot Summary of Perilous Circles
"L.A. publicity agent Taylor Fairchild travels to England to escape a hectic work schedule and failed marriage. Hardening her heart to desire, the last thing she wants or needs is a lover, until she meets Craig Phillips, a musician who, unknown to her, is a top drop man for powerful drug kingpin Robert Bongiorno. For Taylor, Craig is the man who could ease the pain of the past and make all her dreams come true. However, their newfound love is soon jeopardized by the murky shadow of the drug trade which silently stalks Craig as he flees Bongiorno's “organization” to pursue a music career in the States.   

Later Bongiorno, long annoyed with the idea that his best employee had suddenly left him to pursue fame and fortune in the music industry, discovers Craig's whereabouts. He also learns that Craig is represented by Fairchild Enterprises, and a firm owned and operated by his former law partner, Bruce Fairchild, whose discovery of Bongiorno's illicit activities years earlier sent him to prison. Seeking revenge against his enemy, he devises a way to get Craig back into his service and use him as a pawn in his scheme to get even against Fairchild for past misdeeds.

Horrified to discover that Craig that has suddenly disappeared, Taylor sets out to investigate on her own, where she encounters a vicious drug lord bent on revenge. "
