Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Heartbreaker comes a thrilling novel of passion and obsession featuring attorney Theo Buchanan.

Like his FBI agent brother Nick, Theo Buchanan is devoted to his crime-fighting career. Unlike his brother, he works the other side of the desk as an esteemed Justice Department attorney and rarely sees on-the-field action—until he comes to the aid of Dr. Michelle Renard, a beautiful and brilliant surgeon in Bowen, Louisiana, who recently saved his own life. Michelle’s medical clinic has been vandalized, and the investigation uncovers a deadly ring of criminals bent on preserving their secrecy at any cost.

They call themselves the Sowing Club: four white-collar professionals whose sophisticated crimes have amassed millions of dollars in a Cayman Islands bank account. The group is bound by a pact to leave the cash untouched until they accumulate a certain amount, but their leader, John, is distracted by and nearly bankrupt from his wife's grave illness. Knowing what must be done, John turns to his three friends to mercy-kill his wife, but the line between mercy and murder quickly vanishes....

As the relentless and cold-blooded Sowing Club sets out to silence Michelle, the one person who has information that could destroy them, Theo confronts the lies, greed, and evil that bind the lethal foursome—and risks more than he ever has before. Michelle saved his life...now can he save hers?

    First time reading this authors work and it was griping and intriguing, it had me at the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns in the well written plot! Absolutely loved this story, I loved the strong but somewhat naive Michelle and how the author portrays her strength, intellect and vulnerabilities. I did not read the first book in the series but it seems that you can read them individually without missing a beat. Can’t wait to read the next book! Enjoy!

    Excellent writing, however the book was significantly edited so I didn't really get my $8 worth.

    I love all of her books. Julie Garwood knows how to entertain. You feel like you are part of the story as you read.
