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.

a good nora roberts book

I enjoyed this book. I liked the charaters and the location. The story flowed and was well written

A good listen..

I really liked this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Liz/Abigail is my hero.

An interesting story well told!

The storyline was excellent and the narrator brought all the characters to life in a believable and compelling way. I increased the narration speed to 1.1x which made it more enjoyable for me. Highly recommend this book!!

My favorite “listen purely for enjoyment” book. Amazing. I highly recommend this! And narrator is fantastic also.

My favorite story of hers!

This book was my introduction to Nora Roberts. Great story and narration. I have listened to it four times. I have since listened to many other books of hers, but this one remains my favorite

holds your attention

one of her better books. loved it.
keeps you in suspense. hard to put it to bed.sort of a long book.

so sweet

I am a fan of Nora Roberts/JD Robb so am predisposed I guess to give any of story's a chance. My little sister recommended it and was not disappointed.

i couldn't stop listening

This was a wonderful read and should be followed by a second novel continuous audible

Good book, lame ending

Great story, but it left to many unanswered questions. What happened to the mob and the dirty cop?

Fantastic story

To be honest I bought this on a whim during a 2 for 1 credit sale because it sounded intriguing. I was hooked on the first chapter and devoured it in one sitting. I absolutely loved it.
