Publisher's summary

When she becomes a madman's target, Eve Duncan's daughter Jane must team up with longtime love interest Seth Caleb in this suspense novel from the number one best-selling author of Smokescreen.

Forensic sculptor Eve Duncan and ex-Navy Seal Joe Quinn are about to give Seth Caleb their trust for the most important duty of his life: keeping their daughter, Jane, safe at any cost. Her talent as an artist has caught the attention of a brilliant psychopath with a violent past.

Seth, Jane's strongest ally and fiercest protector, is determined to keep her out of danger, but that becomes nearly impossible when Jane is forced to take matters into her own hands and confronts the madman who wants her for himself...and wants Seth Caleb dead.

As Jane and Seth chase down their bloodthirsty adversary, they finally commit to a life together - in the culmination of the epic love story that fans have been eagerly anticipating. As the two come face to face with danger, one thing is made clear: It will take both of them working together to confront and defeat this evil.

Terrific story and narration

Both ladies together made up a fantastic tale with thrilling mystery and rekindled everlasting love. Hope we get to her more of Jane & Kaleb’s adventures with Lisa & young Michael too.

The family all have their jobs . Changes in Michael opened to all. Like that familiar characters that interact and grow with trust more and more with all Iris Johansens books

Love Caleb and Jane!

This story was action packed and full of interesting characters. I loved getting into the relationship between Caleb and Jane much deeper than we have in the past. I've always found him to be so interesting and was a little annoyed with the way Jane has treated him. Glad to see her eyes are opened to how she really feels for him in this book.

2nd time

This is my second time to read or listen to this book. I love Johansson books. I keep hoping I haven’t missed an Eve book with Jane and Caleb still connected to Michael & Joe. Their mysteries are always surprising. This I love
