Romance Suspense

Kayla Sheridan finds herself caught up in the notion of happily ever after. Believing she has found her prince in Nick Granville, she marries him after a three-week romance. When Nick disappears on their wedding night, she is determined to find out what happened to him. Her investigation takes her nightly past Nick's house, and when she sees a light on one night, she stops. The door opens and she comes face to face with a man she does not recognize, but claims to be Nick Granville. If this is Nick Granville, then whom did she marry? Nick Granville returns home from a three-month trip to Africa to find signs of habitation in his house. He sees wine glasses on the table, unfamiliar food in the kitchen, and women's perfume and lipstick in his bedroom. There are also numerous messages on his answering machine from someone named Kayla. Who is she and why does she act like she knows him? Furthermore, who took over his life while he was out of the country? Together, Nick and Kayla, follow clues that will lead them to the man that is determined to ruin both of their lives. They have to delve deeper into the past to determine the motive for the present. Will they be able to stay one step ahead of the man who is after them? Will they be able to walk away with their lives? Barbara Freethy takes you on an exciting adventure as Kayla and Nick try to find the man who has betrayed them both. TAKEN is fast paced and it is hard to put down. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and since this one is open ended, I am anticipating the sequel.
