Publisher's summary

In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review).

Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive.

Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town.

The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights.

And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

Good Listening

Enjoyed it had some twists that wasn't expected kept it interesting and wanting to listen.

Awesome and excellent book!!!

This was the best audiobook I have ever listen to! As the narrator told the story it was as if I was right there. When Abigail told her story in the death of the federal agents; as she cried I cried. I have never listened to a book That was so well written and told.

Liked it

amazing

loved every second of this book. it captured me from the beginning until the very end.

Easy Listen

This was a story I really enjoyed listening to minute to minute. I ate the whole book up quickly, but when it was done I found it was disappointing. Nothing really much happened in my opinion. It was mostly talking and rehashing over and over. I think I was hoping for something a little more thrilling or a bigger build up to an exciting conclusion.

This book is very much on par with Shelter in Place and Northern Lights. There are many, many similarities. Of the three I liked Northern Lights the best, although that could be because I listened to it first. If you want something more thrilling go read the In Death books.

New favorite book!!

Best book I've read in a while!! She had me enthralled for hours and hours!!

Couldn’t put it down!

What a great story !!! Had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t stop reading

Road trip wonder

My mother and I just drove from California to Virginia and this book was our companion. We both really enjoyed the story. The only thing that might have made it a bit easier to follow along is if they had two narrator's.
