Publisher's summary

Phenomenal #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a spine-tingling novel about a female cop who walks fearlessly into danger - but must draw on her courage to let love into her life.

Police Lieutenant Phoebe MacNamara found her calling at an early age when a violently unstable man broke into her family’s home, trapping and terrorizing them for hours. Now she’s Savannah’s top hostage negotiator, who puts her life on the line every day to defuse powder-keg situations.

After watching her talk one of his employees off a roof ledge, Duncan Swift is committed to keeping this intriguing, take-charge woman in his life. Phoebe’s used to working solo, but she’s finding that no amount of negotiation can keep Duncan at arm’s length. Especially when a man throws a hood over Phoebe’s head and brutally assaults her - in her own precinct house - and threatening messages begin appearing on her doorstep. Duncan backs her up every step of the way, as she establishes contact with the faceless tormentor who is determined to make her a hostage to fear - before she becomes the final showdown.

One of my favorites

I've read or listened to over 55 books from Nora Roberts and this one is a favorite. Great story with love, laughter and intrigue. Susan Ericksen is by far the best narrator and again did a superb job.

"Edgy Romance"

Cast of characters charming - found the story line believable and worth the listen too. Story had me on the edge of my seat at times - a good "read" from Nora Roberts.

Excellent Audio

Really enjoyed this book, Nora Roberts is such a great author. There is only 1 drawback of the story and that is the swearing. Action, love, family, and police negotiate kept you interested to the end. The narrator was very good made you have a good foundation of the characters and what the went through.

Love this story!

Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors and she has a great story in High Noon. A lot of suspense and yet it was a wonderful love story.
