Olives - A Violent Romance

When Paul runs out of choices, his only path is betrayal.

The fragile peace is holding. The Israelis are competing for scant water resources as Jordan and Palestine struggle with drought. Jordanian billionaire Daoud Dajani is bidding against the British for control of Jordan’s water.

When journalist Paul Stokes befriends Dajani's sister, British agent Gerald Lynch blackmails him into spying on Dajani, but Paul’s movements are increasingly linked to a series of horrific bombings.

Confused and alienated, Paul is pitched into a terrifying fight for survival that forces him to betray everyone around him to survive.

Even the woman he loves.
