For eight years, single mother Grace Archer has been living a picture-perfect life raising her daughter on a horse farm in the small town of Tallanville, Alabama. Watching Frankie grow into a talented and confident young girl has made Grace as happy as any mother could hope to be. Happy enough, even, to forget the past. But the past never quite goes away. Which is why a certain charismatic man also moved to Tallanville eight years ago to watch over her. But when violence threatens to shatter Grace and Frankie's idyllic home, the waiting is over. The ghosts of the past have returned. And they're hungry for blood. Now Grace must resume an identity she thought she had cast off forever, and match wits with an opponent as deadly as he is cunning. The prize: an extraordinary secret that only she can unfold. The forfeit: losing the thing more precious to her than life itself.

Johansen blends action, suspense and family values.... Readers may expect a sequel.
[A] suspense story with feminine appeal!
" This book was a slow moving book..it took a lot to set up the story-line, but once it got moving there were some unexpectant moments. It was different to read one of Johansen's books with all new characters. I hope she continues to use these characters again. "
" This was a fun, escape book. VERY predictable. Not her best but a fun read! "
" A quick read suspense book. "
" Well written and enough twists to hold your interest. "
" I've got half way thru this book, but I just can't do it anymore. It hasn't been able to hold my attention for more than a few pages at a time. I will have "read" 20 pages and only absorbed 1 or 2 of them. It just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. This book is just not for me! Onto the next :) "
" Fast paced, exciting story w/ mystery, love, a thriller too! "
" Great book so far. Really grabbed me from the start. Only about a quarter of the way through. "
" Good easy read. A bit predictable, but I enjoyed the fun read. "
" This is a fun easy read mystery novel with a bit of hot romance intertwined. An easy read. You dont really learn anything you just enjoy it as the story unfolds. "
" I am on an Iris Johansen kick. These are entertaining suspense novels with plots that are a bit far out but hold your attention. Well written. "
" Im about 60 pages in and I just can't go on. This book just wont hold my attention. I have had to re read several pages just to figure out what my mind missed. "
" I just couldn't warm u to t he characters in this one! "
" I had the hardest time trying to finish this book. I couldn't wait until it ended. I didn't care about any of the characters and I just didn't understand the significance about how great these horses were. I did not enjoy the read at all. "
" I really enjoyed the relationship between the mother and her daughter. The spy stuff was well done, yet didn't diminish the family dynamic. Characters I cared about and a plot that kept me hopping. "
" I fell in love with this book from the begning it was hard to put down i love it "
" well, it's not an audio book, but this seems to be the only one I can find. Like most Johansen books, I had a hard time getting started, but then it gets good and I don't want to stop till I know what's happening. "
" Okay, I'm hooked on Iris Johansen. The only thing lacking is more explicit sex ;) I love her writing style and the stories are strong, just as the women are protrayed. Right now, Johansen is filling up my holds list. "
" This was a wonderful suspense book. It had all you need when reading it - the hero, the villains and great characters. "
" Just as good as the first book of hers that I read. It moves so fast I read it in one afternoon! "
" This is an excellent thriller with action, romance, drama, and intrigue to keep your blood flowing. A great thrilling read for 4.5 days. "
" Just finished it last night. I know her books are popular but they are rather formulaic. Strong woman, man done her wrong, in the end, they get together. blah blah blah. "
" If you like stories where one character really loves another character, but agonizes for endless pages and denies (to herself) the love, then you might like this book. Me? Not so much... "
" i totally liked this book but it's hard to read if you have kids!! it makes you paranoid.. "
" book was good, it just didn't keep my attention well. "
" Started and finished in the same day. I was never so happy to sit and wait in the doctors office. Good "breeze through" action and adventure. I don't think I have read anything else from this author, but now I might investigate other books. "
" I haven't read Iris Johansen before but really enjoyed this book and will read more of her work. "
" I truly am a sucker for mystery, action and love. Through it all in and I can't refuse even if it is basicall the same plot EVERY time. When will I learn? But it is a good read. "
" I could not put down this book!! I read it in like three days or so. I was sad to see it end - This is my first time reading a book by Iris Johansen and I really liked it!!!! "
" Eh... a bit too melodramatic for my tastes. "
" Bridgeport reading while everyone else fished and played poker. "
" I liked it. It had a good storyline. The way the 8 year old talked and the way the main character could just talk to horses was a bit unlikely but it was an entertaining story. "
" I am glad I read this as an audio. A very interesting premise with a cozy touch to a thriller. These were nice characters to learn about. "
" Hmmm ... I don't care much for horses and the story was a little thin IMO. Not bad but not anything to rave about either. "
" I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, good suspense/thriller read with a hint of romance but was not as graphic in detail as some writers. I would recommend this book to most anyone that likes suspense/thrillers. "
" I enjoyed the mother/daughter relationship in this book. A good suspense that held my interest. "
" Espionage thriller. Mother and daughter pitted against evil magnate. Help by former lover and daughter’s father. "
