Suspense
Tracy Michaels grew up believing her step-father, Jim
Hammond, when he said she wasn't good enough, smart enough,
or pretty enough. Now a single mother, she works as a tour
guide in one of Denver's old Victorian museums barely making
enough to survive. During long, sleepless nights in her
studio apartment, she worries about stretching her meager
paycheck for the basic necessities. She wants more for her
life, more for Ritchie, her baby son, so she studies
self-improvement and arranges longer hours at work, trying
desperately to scrape together enough money to attend
classes at a local tech school.
Then one night her entire world shatters. She's beaten and
sexually attacked. She survives, but he's watching her,
threatening Ritchie's life if she talks to the authorities.
Sergeant Reese Sanders, Denver PD, struggles through his own
recovery, tormented by memories of another young victim, one
who had always looked up to him--as a police officer, and as
her brother. When she was attacked a year ago, she expected
sympathy and comfort. But Reese had become hardened and was
never able to offer understanding or anything beyond the
standard platitudes.
His sister slashed her wrists.
Reese spent a year failing to drown his guilt with bourbon.
Now, back on the force, he discovers his true redemption
lies in finding the man responsible for his sister's attack,
the same man he believes attacked Tracy. His very sanity
depends on convincing her to help him bring the perpetrator
to justice.
Meanwhile, the perp watches.
Even in the hospital Tracy isn't safe from his threats.
She's forced to run, seeking shelter for Ritchie and herself
in a safe house for battered women. With Suzy Banning's
guidance, a white-haired-grandmother rape counselor who
loves gaudy jewelry and sequined clothes, Tracy discovers
inner strength and courage, qualities she must test when the
offender finds her and demands she meet him.
