Following up on the incredible success of River Road, NY Times-bestselling article writer Jayne Ann Krentz delivers another masterpiece of romantic suspense. It’s no coincidence when Sophistication Elland finds a vodka container next to the lifeless body of her boss, motivational speaker Sprague Witherspoon. The bottle is certainly a terrifying-and deliberate-reminder from the horrors of her past. Elegance retreats to her hometown to regroup and tries to put everything she’s learned all about positive thinking into practice-a process that is seriously challenged around the world’s worst blind time. Awkward doesn’t start to spell it out her night with venture-capitalist Julius Arkwright. She has nothing in keeping with a man who lives to make money, but the extreme former Marine has some skills that Grace can use-and he’s the perfect man to greatly help her when it becomes clear she is getting stalked. As Witherspoon’s monetary empire continues to crumble around them, taking a lethal toll, Julius will help Grace stage into her past to uncover a devious intend to destroy not only Grace, but everyone around her.
