Three Metal Pellets by M.J. SIMMS-MADDOX

In book #3 of The Priscilla Trilogy, it is time for Priscilla to become the woman she was meant to be.

Set in the late 1980s, after Priscilla returns from her time in Africa, she is besieged by prospective PR clients. But Priscilla has long since decided to only take on projects of substance, "earthy." So she waits and waits until, one day she receives a handwritten note that reads: "Interested in spearheading the marketing campaign for the next president?"

Meanwhile, her one-time lover, Carlton Elliott Bernhardt, the swarthy, intrepid special operative, surprises her with an invitation to meet his family at their home in Bow Lake, New Hampshire: his parents--Emerson C. Bernhardt II and Lady Chelsea, his surrogate father and head butler of sorts--Ramses, and his older sister--Arvana, a socialite and cocaine-addict.

As Priscilla steps back into the public eye, the South African terrorists close in on her again, this time, on the home front. In the climax, Priscilla conducts the PR performance of her lifetime.

By the end of her epic adventure, Priscilla discovers that her world and her possibilities in it in love and in work are far larger than the small circumscribed world of Ohio politics and her traditional family, and that she is a darn good PR consultant, too.
