In the still shadows of the confessional, a madman tauntingly reveals his plan for a murder he is going to commit, pulling Father Thomas Madden into a twisted game by disclosing his next intended victim: Tom's sister, Laurant. In a frantic race to protect her, Tom calls upon his best friend, elite FBI agent Nick Buchanan, to track the predator who is closing in on Laurant. Now, as an electrifying attraction grows between Laurant and Nick, so does the danger - and one false move will cost both of them everything that matters. "Heartbreaker moves along at a racehorse pace, its plot swerving and darting with sudden turns and jolts....Garwood's characters are well drawn." - New York Post

"One of my all time favorite Julie Garwood books. I have read and re-read this book! The characters are awesome, the plot is well done and the relationship between characters is awesome! I love the friendship between Father Tom and Nick, Nick and Noah and between Nick and Laurant. I think this is one I'll be re-reading soon; and I'm sure it won't be the last time!"

— Susan, 1/2/2014" fIt was a scary bad guy until the end. I felt cheated about who he was. Seemed artificial and contrived. "
— Catherine, 12/4/2013" I liked it...she kept me guessing at who the bad guy was...way to go, Julie! I read this book a few years ago and it just showed up out of the blue again...it didn't hurt my feelings! "
— Tiphaine, 11/27/2013" The story hooked me right away. It took me a while to figure out who the Heartbreaker was. Low heat level and more suspense than romance. The ending was very sweet and romantic and left me with a smile on my face. "
— Delaney, 9/30/2013" Enjoyed this book a lot! Garwood really made a great list for the stalker, but it was still a surprise at the end! Started Mercy right away. "
— Cindy, 9/21/2013" Not of fan of this book or any of Garwood's contemporary work. Can't stand it! Garwood was my first historical romance author. Her historical romance books are amazing...especially The Secret/Ransom. Wish she would go back to writing the historical stuff. "
— Tarha, 9/17/2013" I love this series. The Buchanans are funny, flawed, and take care of their own. "
— Christy, 9/16/2013" In my opinion, this is one of Garwood's best. This book was also never returned by one of my students that borrowed it. A male student read this book and loved it! "

— Shelley, 8/23/2013" This was a rather predictable, easy read. The characters were pretty one dimensional and hard to become invested in. But the story kept moving and made you want to see it to the end, to see how it would turn out. "
— Denise, 7/11/2013" I didn't really like this author's style. The story has potential, but the characters just didn't work for me. "
— Lori, 7/6/2013" Noah I love u <3 "
— Maryam, 4/26/2013" I could have finished this in tw0 days had I more time to read. Because it was fast paced and flows easily, I'll follow this series until it burns me out. "
— Purple, 2/4/2013" An enjoyable serial killer novel. I have found some of her other works to be better, but this did have good twists and suspense on its side. "
