Publisher Description
Here is New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen’s classic novel of unforgettable romance and unrelenting suspense–a ravishing thriller of a woman with a secret irresistibly drawn into the glittering world of a famous man whose past may be murder…. Taking the stage that evening, Daisy Justine had no idea that she was auditioning for her life. Watching from the darkness beyond the footlights was the world-famous composer Jason Hayes. The reclusive genius was seeking a new star to play the tragic heroine in his latest work, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello. From the moment he heard her sing, Jason knew he’d found the star he’d been searching for his whole life. But coaxing her from Geneva to the bright lights of Broadway wasn’t going to be easy. For she’d made a promise to another man that she couldn’t break–nor disclose to anyone, not even Jason. Jason has only two weeks to change Daisy’s mind. But the closer he gets to her, the closer danger comes. For there’s more than just artistic temperament behind Jason’s legendary seclusion. He, too, is harboring a secret, stalked by a killer who’s followed him for decades. Now he’ll do anything to protect Daisy from the greatest threat of all–herself. Daisy’s determined to catch the ruthless sociopath who’ll stop at nothing to ruin their lives. And she’s baiting the trap with the one victim the killer can’t resist.

" Republished romance novel - cute story, "
— Melanie, 2/9/2014 -
" Story moves too fast. "
— Marian, 2/1/2014 -
" Probably a better book if read when originally published. Now it seems really dated and just too alpha. "
— Lynne, 1/8/2014 -
" Giving it 2 stars because there is way too much sex in this book for me. Just wanted to warn those that feel the same as I do. It was a good story, but would be a lot better without all that in it. "
— Melissa, 1/3/2014 -
" A great big blech. Near-rape is so not a turn-on in any way shape or form. Didn't bother to finish. "
— Anne, 12/20/2013 -
" Is this a Harlequin Romance novel? I couldn't take all the throbbing, probing emotionalism of this. Jeez! What a waste! "
— Darlis, 12/11/2013 -
" Weak plot. More of a woman's book, but still weak for Iris J. "
— Jim, 11/12/2013 -
" Good book, but alot of dirty talk. "
— Genelle, 11/2/2013 -
" Generic romance- felt old (which makes sense considering its original publication date). But it passed the time "
— Christine, 9/22/2013 -
" Not the usual Iris Johansen mystery thriller. This is a romance book and is quite steamy at times. The book read more like a Harlequin Romance and the plot was very predictable (not the usual Johansen). But for what it is, it was an enjoyable, quick read. "
— Holly, 5/19/2013 -
" this story is amazing and give me goose bumps "
— Ariel, 5/14/2013 -
" It was okay if you like romance. I pretty much guessed the ending without having to finish it but it's not really my kind of book. "
— Kathleen, 8/3/2012 -
" Just finished this one. It is full of mystery, beauty and lust. Quite steamy in parts. It stimulates the emotions with complete sadness, hurt, loneliness, danger and sheer happiness. I laughed out loud and shed some tears and at the end, I didn't want it to be over. "
— Patti, 7/14/2012 -
" Tried to read this to mother and got so very bored I didn't want to complete it...so, I'm not going to. "

" Not what I have come to expect from an Iris Johansen book. I think I will stick to her murder mysteries instead of her steamy romance novels. "
— Petra, 6/6/2010 -
" I didn't think I would, but by the end of this book I was really enjoying it. I like Johansen's style much better now but this book was written over 20 years ago. "
