Romantic suspense superstar Linda Howard's seductive New York Times bestseller "meshes hot sex, emotional impact, and gripping tension" ( Publishers Weekly ) into a sizzling, heart-pounding thriller! Still reeling from her mother's recent death, Karen Whitlaw is stunned when she receives a package containing a mysterious notebook from her estranged father, whom she has barely seen since his return from the Vietnam War decades ago. Then, a shocking phone call: Karen's father has been murdered on the gritty streets of New Orleans. For homicide detective Marc Chastain, something about the case of a murdered homeless man just doesn't add up--especially after he meets the victim's daughter. Far from the cold woman he expected, Karen Whitlaw is warm and passionate. She is also in serious danger. A string of "accidents" have shaken Karen to the core, and forced her into the protective embrace of the charming detective she vowed to resist. Together they unravel a disturbing story of politics, power, and murder--and face a killer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on her father's secrets.

A woman, a man, a murder, a love story. Likely or not? A cop who believes the worst, but glimpses the best in the heroine makes him putty in her hands. That she is unaware is a by product of Howard's writing prowess. One does not feel it is unlikely immediately, even with the "tiffs" set up initially. It is preordained that she will run to him and he is ready when she needs his help. This is a straight forward story that starts and leads straight through to the end. It is a natural unfolding of their story amidst the side plots. One never loses sight that this will end the way it does, just that the backstory provides a great line of twists to entice while they come to their natural progressive end. This is a great read - overt in its lines to the finale, but entertaining to get to throughout.
