Sally Montgomery anticipated a romantic weekend getaway. What she got instead was a nightmare of unrelenting terror. The murder of her companion and the torching of their cabin sends Sally into hiding—from the police, who believe she's a suspect . . . and from the killer, who wants her dead.
Desperate and alone in the woods, Sally has nowhere to run and nowhere to turn—except to her ex-husband, former NYPD detective-turned-private investigator Pete Montgomery, and their daughter Devon, who inherited her father's investigative instincts. Devon's search for the truth takes her dangerously close to the powerful Pierson clan and its enigmatic heir apparent, Blake Pierson. But with Olympic show-jumping gold at stake and his family's empire threatened, whose side is Blake on? Time is rapidly running out for Devon. Racing the clock, she must prove her mother's innocence and outmaneuver the killer before her tactics put her in the wrong place, and one more step will mean certain death.

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.
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.)
