title: Gaucho
author: Allen, H.M.
description: Juliette Jones is a burnt out Middle Manager tired of pandering to spoiled rich women in her department store and living life in the cultural desert of Australia. So she runs the New York Marathon looking for more. When she meets urbane Dr. Carlos Morales, she believes she has met the man of her dreams. The Opera, a seduction to the Tango and she is ready to commit. But all is not as it seems and when she finds herself in a life and death struggle on his yacht in the Caribbean, it is more the stuff of nightmares. Gaucho is a contemporary tale of romantic adventure, interwoven with a story of the past struggles of Argentina's "Dirty War" and its effect on their lives, past, present and future.
