Description

In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better “when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review).

Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive.

Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town.

The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights.

And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

    This book was very interesting. Some parts were slow as they had to introduce the new characters and explain the main character’s background. However it help my attention and finally towards the end added some unexpected romance. There were some laugh out loud moments too! I would recommend this book.
  • Best book I have read in a long time

    This book was so good that I didn't want it to end. The main characters are likeable and their relationship is sweet. Sometimes I got confused with the introduction of minor characters and I had to reread certain paragraphs to understand who was being talked about. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I recommend.
  • Kept my attention. Didn’t want to put it down!
