Romance Suspense

Rachel is getting comfortable in her life and she finds it a little shocking. Her boyfriend Mason is raising his two nephews since their mother was placed in an asylum and their father died. Rachel never wanted children, but she is finding she really enjoys the life they have. That is until Mason is injured saving children from a fire and his new nurse shows up wearing a sexy nurse Halloween costume or something that could pass as one. Now Rachel is determined to find out if something about the woman is really wrong or is she just jealous? When Mason's house is burned down and the boys go missing, the news that their mother has escaped the asylum adds an urgency to finding them. Time is running short and lives hang in the balance. Rachel and Mason must make some decisions that will impact them for a long time. DEADLY OBSESSION is an exciting mystery involving a great couple with Rachel and Mason. You can't help but love them, the boys, and their dogs. Maggie Shayne writes great stories and DEADLY OBSESSION doesn't fail to deliver.

SUMMARY

A cold-blooded killer with a burning obsession… 

Rachel de Luca has a bad feeling about the new woman in Detective Mason Brown's life, the nurse taking care of him after he's injured in the line of duty. She'd like to think it's just jealousy, but intuition tells her it's something more, maybe something dangerous. 

Mason knows Rachel's wary of commitment, and asking her to stay when he's in this condition would be the worst thing for their relationship. Then they receive chilling news that drives everything else from their minds. 

Mason's psychotic sister-in-law has escaped from custody, putting her sons— the nephews he's raising—in the crosshairs. When his house is burned to the ground, he and Rachel are relieved that there are no bodies in the smoldering rubble, but now his nephews are missing and the clock is ticking. 

As Mason and Rachel try to find the boys, she senses a new and unexpected danger stalking them. Soon, everyone close to Mason is in deadly peril—Rachel more than anyone….
