Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts serves up a sizzling novel of explosive suspense and sensual romance as the search for a murderer ignites passion between a beautiful psychiatrist and the sexy, brooding detective determined to crack the case.

In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris.

Scarred by his family’s history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as “The Priest” inexorably erode the walls they’ve built. They’re opposites in so many ways, yet that seems only to fan the flames of attraction for which danger has supplied the spark. To stop a killer who thinks he can absolve sins through murder, Ben will need every ounce of psychological insight Tess can offer him. And she’ll need the help of a lawman willing to stare fear in the face if she’s going to avoid becoming the madman’s next victim.

Previously only available as an abridged recording.

Looking forward to the next in the series

Enjoyed the story. I agree with the other review about the narrator. I almost dropped the book in the first chapter but Huger did get better when she altered her voice for the characters. Terribly monotone otherwise.

to Finish

I thought the story was great, however I needed more of a definite ending. The twist and turns were fun, but the ending was not great.

Not her best.

Disappointing. I didn’t care the narrative. She was not the best and I had to push through to the end.

set and likely written in late 80's, classic nora

Good story, great characters, feels like watching a decades old series. this may feel dated to some,
this is classic nora roberts, was this a series that she wrote and never released?
enjoyable, good read. highly recommend .

Great Book

As usual Nora comes up with a winner. I’ve listened to it before but it’s been awhile. Now I’m ready for Brazen Virtue.

Love!

The only thing I don’t like written by Nora Roberts is her sifi/fantasy stuff.
