Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts comes a seductive and suspenseful novel of dangerous liaisons and family betrayals…Photographer Jo Ellen Hathaway thought she'd escaped the house called Sanctuary long ago. She'd spent her loneliest years there, after the sudden, unexplained disappearance of her mother. Yet the sprawling inn on an island off the Georgia coast continues to haunt her dreams. And now, even more haunting are the pictures someone is sending her: strange close-ups and candids, culminating in the most shocking portrait of all—a photo of her mother—naked, beautiful, and dead.Now Jo must return to the island, and to her bitterly estranged family. With the help of Nathan Delaney—who was on the island the summer her mother disappeared—Jo hopes to learn the truth about the tragic past. But Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all.

About Nora Roberts

Author, Nora Roberts was born Eleanor Marie Robertson, on October 10, 1950 in Silver Spring, Maryland. For more than three decades Roberts has published more than 200 titles in the romantic novel category. She wrote her first story during the blizzard of 1979, when she was snowed in at her home. The first novel, Irish Thoroughbred, was published just two years later. Then, the next two years brought 23 more published novels, and she finally caught the public's eye in 1985. That last novel, "Playing the Odds" gave Roberts a "fan favorite" status and transformed the romance novel category.

Roberts has two sons by her first marriage, and married her second husband, Bruce Wilder, in 1985. From 1991 to 2001, all 68 novels she published made it onto the New York Times best seller list. In 2000 alone she had 13 best sellers, several making it into number one. She also writes futuristic romantic suspense under the pen name of J.D. Robb. Many of her novels have been adapted into TV movies. She was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame on 1986. She currently owns the Inn at BoonsBoro in Boonsboro, Maryland. The suites are each inspired by and for romantic couples from books. FYI......she has a fear of flying and is an ardent baseball fan.

First things first: I'm sorry, Cyndi!! Cyndi is my friend who loves Nora Roberts. Actually, I might have 1-starred this baby if not for my guilt over not liking this book. Okay, now that that's done, let's dish about why I hated it! First, we have Jo. She's a professional photographer who has a stalker......more

With some books you have to take some time to digest it before you can talk about them, but with others the feelings come bursting out the second it's finished. That's how I feel about this book. It is so amazing! There are strong characters, including the island, itself. Sanctuary is an inn on a......more

2.5 Stars (Rounded down) I generally have a love/hate relationship with Nora Roberts. I either find her books absolutely wonderful, or I roll my eyes and inwardly cringe at how awful it is. This one, for once, was in the middle. Jo is a famous photographer, haunted by the past when she used to live on......more

3'5 Estrellas. Me ha gustado bastante, pero me han faltado cosas. La trama está muy bien planteada, tiene su suspense que te mantiene en vilo durante toda la novela, pero ha faltado algo para que sea más redonda. Compré éste libro hace unos meses en una librería de segunda mano, por darme un empujón......more

Goodreads review by Eve on November 20, 2017

This was slow and boring in comparison to some other Nora Roberts' novels. I also didn't feel any "bond" with the characters, and I didn't like how the story switched between different storylines and characters. I also didn't quite understand why the Hathaway family could so easily believe that the......more
