For my next trick...

I don't usually like to spill much about what I'm working on, but something has me a little worried about my next project. Just in case the individual with whom I recently shared my manuscript and from whom I have subsequently not heard in a full month now gets any funny ideas, I will stake my claim to the characters, plot and title in a public place. Paranoia? Oh, goodness, most likely. All the same, this is what I have in the hopper:

The Fisher Effect
A Novel by Erin K. Rice

Bank auditor Jordan Clarey believes her flirtation with enigmatic currency trader Luke Fisher is a harmless indulgence. But just as the stakes of their relationship are raised, Luke leaves for a business trip and severs all communication with her. Puzzled and disappointed, Jordan immerses herself in work and soon becomes entangled, along with Luke, in a plot to manipulate the international currency markets. At the root of it all is a scandal that would upend the global economy—and the United States government—if the true source were ever revealed. Spanning 10 days and the entire globe, The Fisher Effect spins a tale of international intrigue, dangerous romance and government conspiracies.
