About this item
In the second book of this "remarkable, mesmerizing series" (Library Journal starred review) , "The plot's twists and turns are handled with a positively Hitchcockian touch, while the brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor are pure Dodd." (BOOKLIST starred review.) Taylor Summers witnesses the death threat to a young boy, and does the only thing she can do--she sacrifices herself to distract the killers. Her reward is a life in ruins, on the run in the wilderness, barely surviving a bitter winter and the even more bitter knowledge she has lost everything: her career, her reputation, her identity. She finds refuge in Virtue Falls, and there comes face to face with the knowledge that, to live her life again, she must enlist the help of the man who does not trust her to defeat the man who would destroy her.
About the Author
New! - EVERY SINGLE SECRET Full-length suspense "I need a gardener to plant my spring flowers, the toilet is leaking, and I need an assassin to kill me. " Upcoming: - A DAUGHTER OF FAIR VERONA Historical Fiction June 25, 2024 "My name is Rosie, Rosaline if I'm in trouble, and I'm the daughter of Romeo and Juliet. Yes, that Romeo and Juliet. No, they didn't die in the tomb ... " Readers become writers, and Christina has always been a reader. Ultimately she discovered she liked to read romance best because the relationship between a man and a woman is always humorous. A woman wants world peace, a clean house, and a deep and meaningful relationship based on mutual understanding and love. A man wants a Craftsman router, undisputed control of the TV remote, and a red Corvette which will make his bald spot disappear. When Christina's first daughter was born, she told her husband she was going to write a book. It was a good time to start a new career, because how much trouble could one little infant be? Ha! It took ten years, two children and three completed manuscripts before she was published. Now her suspense, paranormal, historical, and mystery novels have been translated into 30 languages and sold more than 15 million copies in print. Praised for her "brilliantly etched characters, polished writing, and unexpected flashes of sharp humor that are pure Dodd" (Booklist) , her award-winning books have landed on numerous Best of the Year lists and, much to her mother's delight, Dodd was once a clue in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle. She lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest, where her 700 lavender plants share the yard with her husband's various "Big Projects," including a treehouse, zipline, and their very own Stonehenge.
