Resumen del Editor

She fought to save the world, until someone wanted her dead. A well-executed, deliberate escape.

Alone for 40 days on the ocean. Calling out over the radio, night after night. Until an unfamiliar voice answers....

Her escape was planned. Everything about her life was planned, except for him.

Jenna, a young virologist with Aspergers, discovers a deadly secret. On the run from the biotech lab where she has built her life's work, Jenna is forced to leave behind everyone she loves and watch as they fall, one by one, to a nameless murderer. After seeking refuge on a sailboat and hiding deep offshore, she sends her brother a series of urgent messages. When finally a voice answers back, it's not the one she's been expecting. Will this man be her savior, or her downfall?

She was not part of his plan.

Saint, an ex-Navy SEAL, has spent the last year recovering from a near-fatal injury during active duty. Unable to face a world he no longer feels part of, he has chosen a life of exile, and loses himself in shame and disappointment, giving up on everything, until he hears an exquisite voice, crying out night after night on the radio.

The longer Saint listens, the more convinced he becomes that he knows exactly who Jenna is, and what he must do to help her. But once she has come back to shore, back to him, Saint's agenda grows muddled, and his secrets begin to unravel. Jenna must survive if there is any hope of protecting the world from the deadly secret locked within her mind. Her decision to trust a voice—to trust a Saint—will kill her, or save everyone. But what she didn't see coming, what may prove most deadly, is who stands behind it all.

Outstanding!!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. The story and characters are fantastic. I love romance books that include characters with real life diseases and the challenges the character encounters. I think an author has to be pretty brave to do this. I highly recommend!

A MUST LISTEN!

I've been "chasing the dragon" for WEEKS now, trying to find a worthy title to add to my collection and Kristi Pelton DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I love a strong female lead who isn't wrapped in her own emotions for the whole story and Jenna is everything I love in a strong female lead and is emotionally well throughout the story. Saint is a scarred badass who gains Jenna's trust when she's at her most vulnerable--on the run after her family is targeted and she steals a vaccine from a company that now wants her gone. The story is well done and every detail seems to be placed with reason---to say I loved this book is an understatement! I'm so glad I took a chance on this, it was a hot slow burn that kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole thrilling , action-packed ride! MORE PLEASE! :)

Stayed up half the night to finish it - Duet style

A wonderfully written and narrated romantic suspense. I would highly recommend this audiobook.

The first half gives explanations through flashbacks, giving you what you need when you need it. The second half is the romance and bulk of the suspense which is what kept me up half the night to finish it.

Character development was very strong for the siblings Jenna and Jason. We learn very little about Saint's history but given that understanding each side of him is the title of the book, I don't think it wholly necessary.

The duet narration was spot on. Initially I was concerned that the slight monotone of Macie Miller's character Jenna was going to irritate me. However it was a necessity given Jenna's aspergers diagnosis with the description of feelings backing it up. Marcus Rayne's voice was the perfect amount of gruff for Saint and an excellent narrator choice.

About midway through the story, I purchased the other two audiobooks available by Kristi Pelton because I knew I would want to listen to more from her.
