Quotes

“Bestseller Leigh’s intense fifth addition to the ongoing saga of the Dane family piles on the drama…A fun subplot featuring another PI and a reporter seems likely to enliven future volumes…Morgan and Lance’s romance, mingled with realistic family detail, takes a back seat to roller-coaster suspense.” Publishers Weekly“Works perfectly well as a standalone, although one of the real strengths of the series is the closely knit ‘family’ of characters the author has built up around Morgan…An intriguing mystery…keeps you turning the pages through the twists, turns, and life-or-death situations until the very end.” All About Romance“This is a sit down, get comfortable, and get ready to read to the end because you can’t stop reading kind of story. Melinda Leigh never disappoints!” Harlequin Junkie“Melinda Leigh knows exactly how to craft a good mystery.” Under the Covers
