Dr. Eleanor "Ellie" Sullivan is a gifted surgeon
completing her fellowship in the trauma center in St
Vincent's Hospital in St Louis. Getting ready to leave for
Winston Falls, So. Carolina to attend one of her twin
sisters' wedding, the "bad" twin, her life is turned topsy
turvey. Jogging in the park Ellie witnesses the shooting
of an FBI agent and performs emergency care. At first
sight, she sees her "ideal man" who isn't so ideal. He is
rugged, rough, sexy and with a devastating smile, but could
scare the quills of a porcupine. Agent Max Daniels, a
maverick, becomes entangled in her life in the search for
the Landrys, who are responsible for the shooting of his
friend and targeting Ellie as a witness.
Ellie has been in hiding since the age of 12 from Evan
Patterson, a young man who stalked her and left her beaten
and near death. Max is completely entranced by the gorgeous
prodigy who puts everyone else before her own safety and
comfort. Max refuses to leave Ellie until she is safe and
shows up at her home to protect her until the wedding is
over and she returns to St Louis. Neither can deny their
attraction and hot sexual urges as they are thrown
together. Dodging bullets and two killers planning to end
her life, Ellie takes control in the fight of her life.
An exciting thriller full of action, topped with true
dedication and love between two people of unlikely
backgrounds and visions. Ellie is a terrific, compassionate
woman as well as an exceptionally brilliant surgeon. The
hunky virile Agent is just what Ellie needs. As usual,
Julie Garwood has created another outstanding tale of
suspense and thrills while keeping the imagination running
with the fire hot sexual appetites of the characters. If
ever there was one, this is a real page turner.
Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital. While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooter’s face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation. Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no- nonsense lawman, he’s definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she’s attracted to him in a way she can’t explain. Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sister’s wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor: Max Daniels. The Landrys have been captured, and she’ll be called to testify. But they’ve been captured before, and each time the witnesses are scared into silence—or disappear before they can take the stand. Max vows to be Ellie’s shadow until the trial, and it isn’t long before sparks fly.
