A twisting tale of ancient and modern history bring two contractors working with INTERPOL together. Steamy Moroccan nights fuel their attraction and their mission. Family mysteries help to shape the story and plot.

Archaeologist and INTERPOL contractor Dr. Natasha Jordaan is on a dangerous mission to recover artifacts looted from Morocco—the home of her past and her heart. Trained, competent, and proven, the last thing she needs is a brash, infuriating babysitter, no matter how sexy he is.

  • AFRAID TO HOPE most definitely has all the ingredients to succeed as a commercial blockbuster.

    “The story’s visual details are excellent and feel wholly cinematic on the page. All senses are engaged here, and the manuscript knows how to choose words not only for meaning, but for connotation.

    This project has immense franchise potential; the studios will most definitely make a note of that. I completely believe in this project's salability quotient. I really hope that this film sees the light of day. It was a riveting read indeed.”

  • Full of thrills and suspense, from beginning to end!

    “Bishop writes smart, sophisticated romance that takes you on a trip through fascinating cultures—in this case, the Moroccan culture—and stimulating plots rife with mystery, danger, and explosive chemistry.”

  • AFRAID TO HOPE is SO good that I read it twice!

    "To say that these two have chemistry would be an understatement. But thankfully the author does a really good job with not overpowering their relationship, focusing on the mystery/suspense of the story. This is a jam packed ‘who done it’ story that will keep you guessing and wondering the whole time."
