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.

Great Book! Wonderful Characters. Really enjoyed

Great Book! Terrific Characters... all with great personalities adding more twists to the story. Set in modern day Georgia.... Title almost hinted at cowboy but it's not at all a Western! I Loved it! Well done by Audible.

High Noon?

I love all Nora Robert’s books but this seemed a little weak with the story line. The title “high noon” was used as an analogy, but then again so was Camelot and Lancelot. Pretty confusing and sloppy. Wondering who did the editing.

High Noon

Good story line but a little slow in spots. Very good insight into the main character. She is an excellent profiler and negotiator.

A stunning "read"

and then it was finished!

The characters are "real" they have lives and history.

I just couldn't stop listening and then it was gone and in true Nora Roberts style I missed the 2nd book.

Thank you, well done it was GREAT!
