Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Seeing Red “charges her characters and their relationships with electricity” (San Francisco Book Review) in this sizzling, sleep-with-the-lights-on novel of suspense.
When a deranged stalker attempts to murder her daughter Berry, Caroline King has no doubts who to contact for help: Berry’s father, the cagey private investigator Dodge Hanley. It’s been thirty years since Dodge last saw Caroline, but the savvy real estate mogul still haunts his dreams. He has a whole bagful of grudging excuses for ignoring Caroline’s call—and one compelling reason to drop everything and fly down to Texas to protect the daughter he’s never met: guilt. As always, Dodge’s perseverance knows no bounds as he teams with a small-town sheriff, but the alarming situation worsens when the stalker claims other victims, leaving a trail of clues lethally pointing toward Berry. And Dodge—a street-smart fighter who has always put his life on the line—realizes that this time, he’s risking his heart as well...

Quotes
-
“An equally steamy tale of obsession, love, and terror…Brown has such a keen way with building apprehension and panic.”
— Dallas Morning News -
“Fast paced and hard to put down. The sociopathic antagonist adds a chilling element that maintains tension and suspense right to the end of this gripping tale.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars) -
“Slezak does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. He approaches one of the key characters, tough-talking, tough-living Atlanta investigator Dodge Handley, with particular relish. Slezak successfully portrays the female characters as well, using a more gentle reading style. Given the substantial portion of romance in the story, Slezak’s ability to switch seamlessly between the pursuit of an unstable killer and the romantic plotlines helps to ensure a credible listen.”

“Brown’s trademark romance spiced with raunch serves her well as she orchestrates…a bang-up surprise ending. [Her] ear for Texas dialect and her earnest characterizations of cynical lawmen with stout hearts make for an enjoyable summer read.”

" She always has good story lines. Too much swearing and guessed some of the plot this time "

" How can you go wrong with a Sandra Brown book; good read. "
— Martha, 5/6/2011 -
" Good book to listen to in the car. It was suspenseful, but not as much as I would have liked. I easily guessed the Plot twist that came at the end - could see it coming about 3/4 of the way through the book. But enjoyable to listen to and easily enough left to the next day to continue. "

" mystery suspence.. three and a half stars... this is a very good read interesting characters a good story with a quircky ending.. i liked the ins and outs of this book and how it jumped from from one place to another still leaving you in the dark as to solving the mystery. "
— Peter, 4/11/2011 -
" Nope. She tells a pretty good story actually. But I was going for a quick light read and it went on just a little too long. I don't want to give a spoiler but I found one twist in the plot to be just silly. <br/> <br/>I skimmed the last half. Not great. <br/> "
— Christina, 4/7/2011 -
" Pretty non-descript for a Brown novel. At one point, I had 3 CDs left and couldn't believe there could possibly be enough story remaining to fill them. "
— Carmen, 4/4/2011 -
