Books like Lure of Eagles by Anne Mather

Domine and her brother were meant to inherit their family’s prosperous business, yet their grandfather left everything to an unfamiliar cousin, Lisel, in Peru. Raised in a convent, Lisel knows nothing of commerce. To protect the legacy, a skilled South American advisor, Señor Luis Delgado Aguilar, arrives on her behalf. Domine is persuaded to travel with him to Peru, meet Lisel, and assist her in adapting to her new role. Upon arrival, Domine finds Lisel far from the naïve girl she imagined—her presence poses an unexpected challenge to Domine’s peace of mind and the family’s future. The novel intertwines personal ambition, family duty, and cross-cultural encounters as Domine navigates the unfamiliar landscape of Peruvian business life, while Lisel’s hidden depths and Dominican upbringing introduce tension and intrigue. The story explores themes of inheritance, identity, and the clash between tradition and modernity, all set against the vibrant backdrop of contemporary Peru.
