Synopsis

Katharine Lawrence has no idea what hit her. The attack came out of nowhere. Only hours earlier she had been enjoying a girls-only weekend with an old college friend. Now she finds herself lying bound and gagged on her kitchen floor, staring with terrified eyes at her friend Lisa while two masked gunmen search her house for—what? She doesn’t know. She knows only that, unless they can escape, whatever it is they are searching for could end up getting both her and Lisa killed.But Katharine’s nightmare is just beginning. When she awakens in the hospital, her nose crushed, her body battered, her brain tells her that things aren’t right—and it’s not the attack that’s disorienting her. She doesn’t recognize herself when she looks in the mirror: her slim body, her manicured hands, her blond bob. And the smiling, handsome doctor at her bedside—Dr. Dan Howard—is familiar, but in a totally unfamiliar way. Perhaps the trauma of the attempt on her life has given her some kind of weird amnesia. She’s twenty-nine, the special assistant to the head of the CIA, and she’s lucky to be alive. She also knows she can trust no one.Acting on instinct, Katharine runs for her life, with Dan, her newfound protector, at her side. By turns grateful and unnerved by his presence, and unable to shake a feeling of profound dread, she allows him to spirit her to a secluded safe house. Instead of finding a haven, they stumble into a tangled web of government conspiracy, and Katharine is left confused, frightened, and desperate to uncover the truth. As the pair is drawn further into this shadowy world where almost nothing is as it seems, as fear gives way to a firestorm of attraction, the cat-and-mouse game grows more deadly, and soon both their lives are at stake.

Goodreads review by Christine on May 11, 2011

By this point in my life, I should realize that it's never a good sign when someone wakes up with amnesia. In my defense, I was hooked before I realized that was going to happen. Both the prologue and the first chapter set up exciting possibilities, and when Katherine woke in the hospital, she was m......more

Goodreads review by Cheri on April 18, 2017

I know a lot of readers did not like this book too much. I will be the one to differ. Amnesia may sound like a lame storyline, but it was not your usual amnesia. I liked the storyline to this book. It has several mysteries to it. I admit I did not see the last one coming at all. Yes, it was a little......more

Goodreads review by Jo on January 31, 2024

I’m not going to lie this is my first 2 star, and greatest disappointment of a long time. Lesson read the reviews. I like this author, must have been an early one for her because the last one was great. Chapter 1 was so far apart from the next section of the book, didn’t know what was going on. Main......more
