Description:
As a former field surgeon in Afghanistan, Heather Fontaine is used to life-or-death situations. She just didn't expect them to follow her home. When she returns from a party to find that someone has broken into her house--and threatened her friends--she assumes it is the stalker who has been following her and creeping her out. She hopes to find safety and peace of mind by leaving the city and hiding out in a small town. But trouble has followed her even there.
Luckily, a stalker isn't the only one watching Heather. Travis Walker has been secretly watching out for her for weeks. As owner of his own security agency, it's what he does. Together, Travis and Heather must figure out who wants her dead--and why--before it's too late.

My Thoughts:
I was eager to begin this story, as Lynette Eason has long been one of my favorite authors of suspense. Though I have learned to make sure I have a block of time and that it’s not right before bed when I start a new one of her stories, otherwise, I might not sleep! Or get anything else done, with my mind trying to puzzle out what's going to happen next.
As always, Ms. Eason kept me guessing and racing to the finish, wondering what would happen next and how everything would play out in the end. I've been greatly enjoying getting to know the characters in this series, Heather and Travis definitely not being an exception! I also loved that characters from the previous books had more than a cameo in the story. Reading this one made me want to go back and reread the rest of the series, as well as her other books!
I would say that my one negative comment is that I found the villain's reasoning behind everything a little shallow and it didn't seem to make sense with the severity of crimes committed. But it did allow the author to drive some points home regarding bitterness and not allowing circumstances to define you. I don’t want to say much more on that, due to possible spoilers.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am anxiously awaiting what might be the final book in the series, though I definitely don’t want to wish for time to pass any more quickly than it already is!
