But as their whirlwind romance turns into marriage, danger follows. On their honeymoon, a series of deadly attacks make one thing clear—someone wants Alex dead. As they race to uncover the truth, old enemies and long-buried secrets come to light, leading them to a shocking revelation that will change everything…

The twists and turns.

I loved it. I couldn't put it down. All i wanted to do was listen to it 24/7. I hope another book is coming soon. As always Catherine Coulter you have succeeded again. My favorite author! Bravo!

It wasn’t a typical raped girl falling in love with the rapist

Instant love story and with no games. The good people win in the end with consistent love and support. I like Catherine Coulter’s historical novels but I don’t like her novels that show a strong woman fall for the man that rapes her in the beginning and they end up falling in love at the end. A terrible thing for young women who read her novels.

Catherine Coulter

I love her style and her insistence that women be strong and sometimes not too nice just like the men. I think I knew who was the bad guy fairly early on but I couldn’t se how it worked. Great! as usual.

great story

as always CC brings the characters to life. the narrator takes a bit to get used to. but the story does snap you in.
