Romance Suspense

Margo Scott is just a normal bookseller, life cruising along just fine, when suddenly -- dramatically -- everyone close to her disappears and people are trying to kill her. She can't remember the last month of her life and has no idea what has happened. One thing she does know is that when she's attacked, she fights back with a skill that she has no idea she possessed. Margo's finding apartments she didn't know she had, can't locate relatives she swore she had and is attempting to follow the clues to find out what was really going on in her life. On top of that, she's questioned in the murder of a man she swears she's never met before (but a picture tells her otherwise). Agent Jack Wise doesn't know who Margo really is and he certainly isn't buying into her excuses that she knows nothing. He's seen her lethal skills -- but he's just not sure whose side Margo is on. He's leaning toward her being an assassin, but wants to believe differently. He's not sure if that's good instincts or his attraction for her talking. An intriguing book pulls the reader in from the beginning as Margo wanders through a life that is, to say the least, confusing. With a dash of romance, intrigue and plenty of mystery, BLACKOUT keeps you turning pages.

SUMMARY

A month ago Margo Scott was a book dealer with family and friends. Now, suddenly, she can’t remember the last four weeks of her life, everyone close to her has disappeared, and she’s the prime suspect in a murder. When an intruder attacks, she responds with lightning-quick moves she has no memory of ever learning. Undercover agent Jake Wise has her in his sights and can’t decide if this mysterious woman is an assassin or a pawn. Is he tempted to protect her because she’s innocent or because he’s falling for her? Thrust together, these two loners realize that trusting each other is their only hope of survival. Because the good guys and the bad guys have one thing in common. They all want Margo Scott dead — the sooner, the better.
