Maggie Scott went into hiding after watching her husband
murder her brother. She's changed her hair color and her name,
added contacts, and ran as far as she could. She's found a
haven in the Pacific Northwest until Cooper Grant comes to
town and starts asking questions. Cooper Grant can't figure out this woman who had it all.
Money, wealth, and a doting husband. He wonders why she left
but not too much. Cooper has just been drifting through
life. He works as a PI when he feels like it. Otherwise,
he is on his boat. He intends to fulfill his father's
dream. The money he was offered to find Maggie will go a
long way to make that possible. Cooper is asked to stay close to Maggie until the man who
hired him can get there. What he's been told about her
doesn't fit but it's good to know she has a brother who
loves her so much. Only when his employer arrives does
Cooper learn that it isn't Maggie's brother. It's her
domineering, manipulative husband; the man she's trying to
escape. Cooper and Maggie will have to work together to rid
themselves of her abusive husband before they can truly
explore the feelings between them. As I was reading this book, I kept wondering why Cooper
didn't question the veracity of his employer. It bothered
me that a PI would be that trusting. As the story
progressed, some facts about Cooper were revealed and I was
more forgiving of his lack of interest. He more than made
up for it by helping Maggie bring Jeremy down. Justine
Davis has made a name for herself in the romantic suspense
field and this book didn't disappoint.
SUMMARY
Maggie Scott knows better than to trust again. When her
marriage deteriorated, she went on the lam. Hiding out in
the Pacific Northwest, she thinks she's safe. She even finds

makes the Puget Sound his temporary home. For Cooper Grant, working as a private investigator simply
means more time on his boat—until he meets Maggie. After
taking on the job of finding her for the man he believes is
her brother, he realizes he's in over his head. And as the
perfect storm of danger and deception is thrust upon them,
keeping her safe becomes his obsession…. For Cooper Grant, working as a private investigator simply
