You Had Me At Rio Dam: A Rio Dam Novel - Book One

By Ainsley McHugh

When photographer Daniella Russo accepts a travel campaign in upstate New York, she expects breathtaking landscapes - not heartbreak. But from the moment she meets Russell Kane, a charming travel agent with an easy smile and a hidden sadness, sparks ignite behind the lens.

Their chemistry is undeniable. There is just one problem - Russell is engaged to Ashling Moore, a woman who vanishes near the mysterious Rio Dam days later.

As the search for Ashling unfolds, Daniella is drawn into a web of deceit, obsession, and danger. Detective Mike Bowman suspects everyone, even Russell, as strange clues appear - encrypted emails, ghostly photographs, and a brother hiding deadly secrets.

But when evidence surfaces that Ashling may still be alive - and tied to a covert CIA operation - Daniella realizes love is not the only thing at risk. The truth could destroy everything.
