"Certain to delight readers everywhere" (Romantic
Times), award-winning author Mariah Stewart expertly
blends tantalizing romance and thrilling intrigue for a
life-affirming novel about the healing power of love....
As co-owner and features editor of a popular magazine,
Leah McDevitt loves exploring exotic locales while she
tracks fashion and social trends across the globe. Yet
despite her devotion to her fast-paced career, Leah is
haunted by the memory of her cherished younger sister
Melissa, who years ago disappeared without a trace. So
when convicted serial killer Raymond Lambert contacts her,
Leah is more than willing to pay him the long-standing
reward for information leading to the recovery of
Melissa's body.
But before Lambert can turn over all
his information, he himself is killed. Devastated but
determined to finally uncover the truth, Leah heads to the
Maine woods to seek out Ethan Sanger, the author of a book
about Lambert. A private investigator, Ethan had written
the killer's story in exchange for yet another of
Lambert's terrible secrets. Working together to discover
the truth about Melissa's disappearance, Leah and Ethan
come to realize that even amid the ashes of tragedy, love
can bloom. But someone harboring secrets of his own is
about to enter their lives...someone who knows more about
Leah than he should...someone who won't be satisfied until
his own deadly game is played out.
