Publisher's summary

Sophie Rose, a tough and determined newspaper reporter, is the daughter of Bobby Rose, a suave, charming, and handsome gentleman who also happens to be a notorious big-time thief sought by every law-enforcement agency in the country. When the major Chicago daily where she works insists she write an expose about her roguish father, Sophie refuses, quits her job, and goes to work at a small newspaper. Far from her onetime high-powered crime beat, she now covers local personalities such as the quirky winner of several area 5K runs whose trademark is goofy red socks.

Those red socks - with Sophie's business card neatly tucked inside - are practically all that's found after runner William Harrington's shredded corpse turns up in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the victim of a mysteriously dramatic death by polar bear. With an unerring nose for a good story, Sophie heads north to Alaska.

What she doesn't realize is that her father's infamous reputation has spread even to the far reaches of Prudhoe Bay. Sophie's assigned a bodyguard - Jack MacAlister, a sexy FBI agent who grudgingly takes the assignment while recovering from an on-duty injury. But they will soon be fighting more than growing passion.

Great book

Great book. The reader of the story was not great a voicing the characters, but it didn't detract from the story too much. Would recommend.

Great narration

Good, easy listen. Loved the narrator on this book. The story moves along well, little bit of mystery, little bit of action and suspense, little bit of romance- easy to follow.
I'd buy another book from this author and narrator.

Good Book, Slow Narration.

I give the story five stars as it hasn't been since Mercy that I've been able to read a complete contemporary Garwood book. The voices given to the characters were very good, they just needed to be brought together with more life and enthusiasm. We listen to audio books to "see" a story in our head, not to just have it read to us with each word on the page spoken aloud. Overall a decent listen though.

Best one so far

Action/romance and mystery. I love all her books, but they always fall short on the romance part a little for me because we don't always get into the head of the Hero and how he feels. This time we did, though it wasn't as much as other romances I have read, it still was more then her other books. This book was well written. I also liked the heroine, and how she was beautiful, but didn't realize just how beautiful.

Good narration too.

A unique, unusual and mysterious story

I really liked the narration . The voice actress had a lovely tone to her voice. It’s a good suspenseful story and I had an exciting time listening to it.
