"No sooner does Melissa Riley arrive at her sister's
isolated Virginia country home than she finds herself
drawn into a drama she never expected. Years earlier, her
sister, the renowned Dr. Jessica Riley, had pulled Melissa
out of the darkness of severe catatonic trauma. Now she's
attempting to do the same for the daughter of the
President of the United States." "The last thing young
Cassie Andreas saw was an organized team ruthlessly murder
her nanny and the Secret Service agents on duty to protect
her. And to free Cassie from the terrors in her own mind,
Melissa and Jessica must risk their own safety and sanity
and place their trust in a mysterious, charismatic
man." "Michael Travis made his fortune in the
international underworld. He risked everything to save
Cassie during that terrible night of bloodshed. And he has
entered into a secret bargain with the president to get
revenge. But does he really want to help? Why? Or is his
show of concern all a treacherous charade?" "Melissa and
Jessica have no choice but to accept Michael Travis as
their ally - even when he proposes a dangerous plan that
will put all their lives on the line. Because far away
from the safety of Virginia, an international game of
deadly intrigue is under way. It is a game of powerful and
dangerous underworld figures whose specialty is getting
what they want - and whose means to do it is murder. And
of one killer in particular who is obsessed with the very
thing at the heart of Cassie's nightmares."
