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...

"This is a character-driven thriller with complicated romances and family interactions. All protagonists are flawed but very likable. Just what I needed to take my mind off other events in my life."

Quotes

  • “[This] romantic-suspense novel...doesn’t disappoint.”

    — Dallas Morning News
  • “[An] entertaining...thriller.” 

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Narrator Victor 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.”

    " Nice fast afternoon, Sandra Brown always has some mystery, some romance, some murder,some past and some future story, I like that the book ends in one , and everything is tied closly at the end of her books, her characters are always interesting, "

    " Not up to her usual quality, in my opinion. The plot "twist" was pretty ridiculous, the plot itself was too contrived, the characters weren't well developed, and I have no idea what the title even references. Overall, a waste of time. "

    " What made this book most enjoyable was Dodge and the back story between Dodge and Caroline being revealed in bits and pieces. I think the twist at the end of this book as a bit of a cop out. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. I skimmed the last half. Not great. "
