Her closest friend and co-worker, Jonathan Linton, was recently murdered, and she is being arrested for his murder. On first inspection, all evidence points to her -- she found the body, her fingerprints are on the murder weapon, and she has no solid alibi for the time of his death. She has no idea who could have killed Jonathan with such passion, but she knows that she did not do it. Will she be able to prove her innocence from behind bars? Or is there another power at work trying to keep her locked up forever?

Will Damon be able to save Laurel from the death sentence that her crime demands?

Jamie Denton beautifully crafts multi-faceted, gripping suspense laced with romance. Her characters are diverse and add a wonderful dimension to the plot as the reader receives glimpses from each of their points of view. Ms. Denton's tale consists of mini stories that she combines flawlessly to create an exciting thriller. I love romantic suspense and Jamie Denton is an author that I would highly recommend. REMAIN SILENT is a fast paced suspense that keeps you glued to the edge of your seat and flipping those pages as quickly as possible.
