Publisher's summary

Loyal. Beautiful. Professional. Impeccably organized. Potentially lethal. Sarah Stevens is a woman with many distinct qualities. First and foremost a butler par excellence, skilled at running large households smoothly and efficiently, she is also a trained bodyguard and expert marksman - indispensable to her elderly employer, a courtly gentleman Sarah has come to respect and love.

Then, one night she thwarts a burglary in progress, a courageous act that awards Sarah her requisite "15 minutes of fame" with the local press. But the exposure is enough to catch the attention of a tortured soul who, unbeknownst to Sarah, will stop at nothing to have her for himself.

Sarah's perfectly ordered life is shattered when tragedy strikes: her beloved employer is brutally murdered. The detective investigating the case assures Sarah that she is not a suspect - until lightning strikes twice. There's a second killing - and this time, despite a lack of evidence connecting her to the crime, Sarah cannot escape the shadow of guilt.

The only option left for Sarah is to carry on with her life. But she doesn't realize that a deranged stalker is luring her into an elaborate trap...one in which she, once ensnared, might never escape. For Sarah soon finds herself at the mercy of a man who will tend to her every whim, smother her with affection, and crush her in his all-consuming embrace.

Awesome performance

Loved the story and the narrator’s acting. I had a few moments where I wished that the heroine was able to kick a few folks but that’s when I know I’m invested in her story. Being a military brat myself, I found myself empathizing with her. I find myself hoping that like any good TCK she adapted her plans and convinced Cahill to go on some trips with her.

What a great read!!!!

l love Linda Howard and Susan Erickson, also one of my favorite narrators was great. I think she is superb in the Death Series and Ms. Howard should be proud of how well the heroine was narrated. Excellent story and characters. Thank you.

a bit too pornographic for me

it was a good story, could have been great except for all the sex scenes that went way beyond just a decent book.

Yuck

Handcuffs. Pushy guy. More emphasis on “sexual tension” to disguise the fact there’s not much there there.
