Book Two of the Harmony's Legacy Series

Harmony's Smile

by Philip G Walsh

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of 2001, a year marked by escalating East-West tensions, “Harmony’s Smile” weaves a compelling tale of intrigue and desperation.

Henri Nader, a convicted billionaire separated from his wife and thirteen-year-old daughter Harmony, receives a tantalizing offer: his freedom in exchange for undertaking a perilous and covert mission in Beirut.

What follows is a heart-pounding series of events, culminating in a perilous chase across two continents.

At the same time, Gerald Irving, falsely accused of kidnapping Harmony, grapples with the fallout of a devastating illness that has left his life in ruins. A family vacation to Los Angeles leads to a fateful encounter with Henri and Harmony forcing both men to confront their intertwined fates and inch towards an uneasy peace between their families.

“Harmony’s Smile” is a poignant and exhilarating story of a young girl living in a world that is not of her making. Can she salvage her own destiny from the wreckage?

“As if that’s my fault’, Lyle thought, but suppressed the need to state it. “It’s early days, princess. Maybe we need to take another look at the publicity. Perhaps another photo shoot? Something more sophisticated, more, er, alluring?”

Excerpt from HARMONY'S SMILE

““Thank you, Lyle, I’ll take that as a compliment. Here’s a clue. I have a nearly thirteen-year-old daughter and an eight-year old son. Does that surprise you?””

Excerpt from HARMONY'S SMILE

““So, may I invite you to join me for a welcome glass of champagne in the drawing room?” he asked. “After that, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to excuse me, I have a few urgent pieces of business I must attend to.””

Excerpt from HARMONY'S SMILE

““I think they were worried about them being kidnapped and held for ransom. It sometimes happens to very wealthy people.” She reflected for a moment. “Ironically, Harmony did disappear for a while, but she wasn’t kidnapped. Not really.”“

Excerpt from HARMONY'S SMILE

“Henri found the old rage boiling up inside him. “Don’t talk to me like that, Nina, I’m not a child!” He was almost shouting. “This isn’t easy for me, you know. Now, do me a favour and mind your own business!““

What price passion?

"A family conference was convened, right there on the steps of Villa Harmony, by the 'lake' complete with its fibreglass gondolas and plastic pink flamingos. The heat of the midday sun was becoming unbearable."

Excerpt from VILLA HARMONY

"Driving breezily along the Ronda road and up into the mountains with the three children chatting happily in the back, free from the oppressive atmosphere of Villa Harmony, how could we have foreseen that the events of that day would change our lives forever?"

Excerpt from VILLA HARMONY

"It has been a real pleasure meeting you, Gerald. I wonder, does your present occupation keep you fully employed at home?" "I'm afraid it does," I answered. "Why do you ask?" Henri's flattery was skilful, never overstated."

Excerpt from VILLA HARMONY

"'Sold another series last night,' he pronounced in his clipped tone. He wanted me to leave on a high. 'Something I've been working on all year finally paid off. Confirmed over dinner. Nice piece of business.'"

Excerpt from VILLA HARMONY

A brilliant story of love, passion and deception - I hugely enjoyed this and finished it in just a few days. The characters of Oriole, Blanche and Gerald are very well-crafted and the story takes many unexpected turns.
