New York Times bestselling author Andrea Kane's gripping new page-turner, Wrong Place, Wrong Time, bolts out of the starting gate and straight into the winner-take-all world of competitive horse show jumping, where drugs, alcohol, money, and egos collide and two strong-willed families risk everything to protect the ones they love.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people . . . especially when they're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

What begins as a romantic weekend in a cozy cabin turns into a deadly nightmare when Sally Montgomery's companion, Frederick Pierson, is murdered. But instead of regarding Sally as a victim, the police are after her as their prime suspect.

To evade the authorities and a brutal killer, Sally goes into hiding, relying on her wits and basic survival skills to stay alive. Desperate, she calls Pete Montgomery, her ex-husband and former NYPD detective turned private investigator, for help. With Sally's life on the line, Monty recruits their daughter, Devon, to work on the case with him.

Devon has her father's cop instincts. As she probes deeper into the murder, the investigation brings her closer to uncovering a dangerous Pierson family secret -- one that could destroy the family empire and its heir apparent, Blake Pierson. Though powerfully attracted to Blake, Devon isn't sure if he's friend or foe. She does know that he'll do anything to protect his family. With Devon's heart and Olympic show-jumping gold at stake, how far will his family loyalty extend?

Time is running out. Danger is closing in. Can Devon prove Sally's innocence before she becomes the killer's next victim?

About the Author:

Andrea Kane's groundbreaking romantic thriller, Run for Your Life, became an instant New York Times bestseller, paving the way for a series of smash hits featuring NYPD detective-turned-private investigator Pete "Monty" Montgomery, and now her current series features the dynamic FBI team of Special Agents Sloane Burbank and Derek Parker. With a worldwide following and novels published in sixteen countries, Kane is also the bestselling author of fourteen historical romances. She lives in New Jersey with her family, where she is learning new ways to sharpen her firearms and investigative skills like a true FBI special agent. Between target practices, she is researching and writing her next supercharged romantic thriller.

From Publishers Weekly:

Kane's kisses are as fun as ever—and twice as fraught—in her latest romantic thriller. "Their lips brushed, circled—then fused, currents of sensation barreling through them. Blake muttered something indistinguishable and tore his mouth away, scrutinizing Devon with a burning gaze." Blake's uncle, Frederick Pierson, was murdered on a getaway weekend with Devon's mother, Sally Montgomery, who's now hiding from both the killer and the law. Devon and Blake's fiery lust is complicated by suspicions. Was Sally the intended murder victim... or did she lure Frederick to his death? Do Blake and Devon really care for each other... or just want information? Although romance is still Kane's strong suit, she's ratcheted up the suspense since I'll Be Watching You, and her characters are more engaging. PI Pete "Monty" Montgomery has been divorced from Sally for 15 years, but he's on the case the minute he hears she's in danger. Assorted members of the Pierson family—super-wealthy Dutchess County, New York horsey folk—are the sort of snobby villains who cry out to be brought low by people who actually work for a living. Thanks to Devon, a veterinarian, the novel is also populated by assorted pets who frolic, make messes, steal roast beef and occasionally want to jump on a bed to which kisses have led. (Dec.)
