About the Book:
Imagine
living in a quaint, beach front cottage on the Hawaiian island of Maui. You have an
amazing job, combined with the pleasure of working from home. Lunch breaks
become a daily picnic on the sand. Dessert is always included because of your
marriage to a famous pastry chef. Life could not be any better. Or so it seems…
When French born, Nikki Sabine Moueix travels to Hawaii for a special work
assignment, her job of writing an article about a famous Swiss pastry chef
generates more than a magazine piece. They fall in love, get married, and Nikki
becomes Mrs. Ruggiero Delémont.
When another
assignment calls for Nikki to spend three weeks in France, Ruggiero’s
schedule prevents him from joining her. She travels alone, advancing straight
into danger. After a threatening confrontation, Nikki wakes up in a French
hospital with no knowledge of her past. When she fails to check in, Ruggiero
panics and pushes for an immediate investigation. But as he closes in, Nikki’s
new found friend moves her to another city. It becomes a game of hide and seek
with Nikki as the prize.
CIRCUMVENT
allows readers to form a bond with Nikki as they yearn for her to remember.
They will cheer for Ruggiero and his relentless determination to locate his
beloved wife. This is a story about two people who never lose their faith in
God, and find amazing friends to help them along the way.

As a book bloggin’ and book luvin’ Princess, I’m always
curious to find out how authors got the ideas for their books. Can you tell us what your book is about?
French born, Nikki Sabine Moueix, travels to Hawaii
for a special work assignment. But her job of writing an article about a famous
Swiss pastry chef generates more than a magazine piece. The writer falls in
love with the baker, and Nikki Moueix becomes Mrs. Ruggiero Delémont. When
another assignment calls for Nikki to spend three weeks in France,
Ruggiero’s schedule prevents him from joining her. She travels alone, advancing
straight into danger. After a threatening confrontation, Nikki wakes up in a
French hospital with no knowledge of her past. When she fails to check in,

Nikki’s new found friend moves her to another city. It becomes a game of hide
and seek, with Nikki as the prize.
Can you tell us a little about the main
characters of your book?
The main characters in Circumvent are quite international,
yet different in appearance. Dark eyes and dark curly hair dominate Nikki
Delémont’s overall look, while her husband Ruggiero Delémont is an athletic
looking blond haired, blue eyed Swiss. They both adore fine cuisine. Nikki is a
writer for a New York food
magazine, and Ruggiero is a famous Swiss pastry chef. Some might say they are a
match made in food Heaven!
