  WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OPTIONS:

  “An absolutely FABULOUS read full of intrigue, laughs and suspense. I love when a book is so super that I can't put it down. This is what happened to me with Options. I highly recommend it (especially to anyone who has worked in the business world). As soon as the second novel in the Kate Monahan series became available, I purchased it and can hardly wait to read it (which will be soon!). Rosemarie D'Amico is extremely talented” - Spye

  “Options is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It grabbed my attention from the very first page and I couldn't it put it down until I was finished. Rosemarie D'Amico is a brilliant author and I would highly recommend this book to anyone enjoys a good mystery (and has a sense of humour). I can hardly wait to begin Artificial Intentions!” – Pat V.

  A FEW WORDS, FIRST

  My mom and dad would be so proud of this published version.

  Thanks to Dan Gathof for daring me thirteen years ago. Kudos to Deborah Cathcart and Roxanne D'Amico who helped me with proofreading and Sheila Purcell for her eagle eye. Thank you Kate D'Amico, for you know what! And a very special thanks to my son Jordan, who photographed and designed the cover.

  I hope you have as much fun reading this story as I did writing it.
