Seventeen years ago, Irene Stenson arrived home to find her
parents dead. The official ruling was murder-suicide, but
Irene never accepted those results. Spirited away by her
aunt, Irene has spent time with therapists, who all agree
that Irene must accept the reality of her parents' deaths
before she can improve her life. However, the past keeps
intruding. A mysterious e-mail from her ex-best friend,
Pamela, asks her to revisit her hometown and meet her.
Luke Danner, an ex-marine with few people skills, attempts
to run a lodge while trying to deal with a broken
engagement and coming to grips with life after combat Luke
has his hands full. He figures his life can't get more
complicated until a sexy woman with haunted brown eyes
checks into his lodge. Those eyes compel him to protect
Irene, and while doing so, he's drawn into untangling her
past.
New York Times best-selling author Jayne Ann
Krentz delivers an exciting romantic suspense filled
with deception and intrigue. The wonderful characters with
their snappy dialogue and delicious humor make ALL NIGHT
LONG a great entertaining read.
Shy, studious Irene Stenson and wild, privileged Pamela
Webb had been the best of friends for one short high
school summer. Their friendship ended the night Pamela
dropped Irene off at home - and Irene walked in to
discover her parents' bodies on the kitchen floor. It was
ruled a murder-suicide, and Irene fled the northern
California town of Dunsley. But 17 years later,
when Pamela sends a cryptic email asking for help, Irene
returns to her hometown to find her old friend has died
suddenly, leaving behind a lot of ugly, unanswered
questions.
Caught up in a firestorm of desperate deceit and long-
buried secrets, Irene knows it would probably be smarter
to just pack up and leave Dunsley behind again, but her
reporter's instinct - and her own hunger to know the
truth - compel her to extend her stay at the local lodge.
Even more compelling is the man who runs the place - a
hazel-eyed ex-Marine who's as used to giving orders as
Irene is to ignoring them.
Luke Danner can see the terror beneath Irene Stenson's
confident exterior - and he is intent on protecting her.
But he is also driven by passions of his own, and together
they will risk far more than local gossip to sort out what
happened to Pamela Webb, and what really happened on that
long-ago summer night...
