Publisher Description
“Like all the best suspense novels, Alone will leave you shaken. . . . You can't wait to see what happens next.”—People Who can you turn to when you’re at your most vulnerable? State Trooper Bobby Dodge watches a tense hostage standoff through the scope of his sniper rifle. Dodge has only one second to react, or a woman and her child may die. Where can you hide when this killer comes? The woman at the other end of Bobby Dodge’s rifle isn’t only in trouble—she is trouble. Cool, beautiful, and dangerously sexy, Catherine Rose Gagnon’s life will change in an instant of violence. It’s the most terrifying place to be. . . . When Bobby pulls the trigger, someone will die. And then no one will be above suspicion, no one beyond harm. And no one will see death coming until it has them cornered, helpless, and alone.

"I avoided Gardner for years because she hosted some true life crime TV show and her tone was overly dramatic and uppity, but in a bored moment, I caved, and never looked back. She writes NOTHING like she sounds or looks, and I love all her series."
— Genji (5 out of 5 stars)

" Once you figured out who was who ( there were so MANY characters!) it was a page turner. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. It was a good book but at times I thought some of the storylines were a little farfetched. I still enjoyed it though. "

— Valerie, 1/11/2014 -
" First Gardner book I've ever read. Loved the character development and the plot twists. I honestly thought of Bobby as a bit of a jerk, but I guess that is what the authoress may have been going for. If it was, good job by Lisa. "

— Deb, 11/23/2011 -
" Alone is a very tightly written suspense novel containing interesting and well developed characters. However, the shoot out near the endof the book, is very difficult to follow and clumsy. But overall I liked it. "
