Saskatchewan (I-Newswire) January 23, 2013 - Saskatchewan author, Ryshia Kennie, releases her latest work of fiction, Fatal Intent. The winner of the City of Regina’s 2011 writing award, Kennie is the author of two other published novels, From the Dust, a romantic suspense set in the heart of Depression era Saskatchewan and Ring of Desire, a romantically magical romp through medieval England. Kennie’s latest novel, Fatal Intent, is a romantic suspense set in the heart of the Borneo rain forest. Published by Beyond the Page Publishing, this is the third publication this Canadian author has contracted with American publishers.

An expedition into the Borneo rain forest is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for entomologist, Garrett Cole. It's this trip that can finally make her a star in her field. But when her team's guide is found dead and headless on the banks of the river, Garrett's dream trek suddenly becomes a nightmare. Lost in the heart of the jungle, she must fight to maintain her composure while leading a panicked team of scientists to safety.

When sexy and rugged Aidan arrives in the jungle looking as if he belongs, Garrett has no choice but to accept his help. But Aidan is more than she bargained for - a man of few words and fewer answers, as comfortable in the jungle as the mysterious native tribesmen. And as the days pass and passion flares between them, Garrett wonders if Aidan's good intentions are just another of the jungle's illusions.

In a land rife with predators and a killer still on the loose, can she trust the one man who claims to be their rescuer?

“The plot is extremely fresh in its approach and the writer makes the reader accompany the team of entomologists in their journey through the exotic landscape of Borneo rain forest. The two protagonists, Garrett and Aidan, are characterized with such vivacity that it is impossible for the reader not to like them. …The fast-paced and highly dramatic plot maintains suspense till the very end, making this piece of writing extremely readable.” Readers Favorite
