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.

5By Jburkes3Just when I thought I'd heard every country name out there! This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts books! A combination of laid back, big brains, and love conquers all. And Nora is still the Authentic Dialog Queen!Fun little Read
4By Krisb0411This was my first book from this author and overall was pleased. I was hooked from the beginning and really liked the character development of Liz. However, I wished the story focused on the issue more diving deeper with more action or thrills. And while I appreciated the story line of Brooks, I felt the whole Blake debacle unnecessary, I would’ve been fine without it. Still a good read though, would definitely recommend.Another really good one by Nora!

5By DLM inWyoOne of her best! Tough, but vulnerable and while reading and getting to know Abigail, she felt like a real person. She forged a life for herself running from the Russian mafia after witnessing a despicable set of murders. A gun wielding dog lover, and computer genius Abigail finds a way to beat the Russians, some rouge lawmen, and learns to trust the power of love and friendship. She dies to live! A great book- two thumbs up!One of NR's Best
5By Lesie23Loved the characters, loved the story. One of my favorite of her books so far, and I’ve read most of them. Well done.The Best
5By Doc_PaulI’ve read a lot of Noah Robert’s books, and this one was the best. The main characters are unique and believable. The plot its intricate and complex and fun! You don’t have to be a cynic to enjoy this book but it helps. I’m purposely not telling any details because the readers will want to discover them on their own. It’s longer than a lot of her books but it’s all enjoyable. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!The Witness
5By Tiggy/CookieOh my goodness what a story ! I have read a lot of Nora’s books but somehow missed this one. I so enjoyed this story, the characters, just everything. She’s an expert on love stories, family, and crime in my opinion. I really hated for this story to end.The Witness
5By Insanity AcresThis is now my favorite Nora Robert’s novel. It was so compelling & filled with the tension of various endings, I almost skipped to the end of the book to be sure it ended without killing some of my favorite characters. I’m glad that I’ve finished this book. Now I can catch up on my chores.Just buy it!
5By Samm12233As always, NR does an incredible job with character development and a workable timeline. I absolutely loved the characters and believe anyone would! Don’t worry about it the beginning and the main characters age (16). I was worried initially that it was going to be a teenage romance book but it grows out of that. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book while I’m vacation. It had everything I wanted: some mystery, suspense, romance, slight emotions and a good setting.Enjoyable from beginning to end.
5By Babybehr1991Really a fun, romantic, exciting story!
