Synopsis

Despite a happy childhood, successful entrepreneur Addison Fox has always yearned to find her birth mother. And with the unexpected death of her adoptive parents comes a renewed determination to fill in the missing pieces of her life—to find her "other" family. But she's too late . . .

Burnt-out from past investigations, Randall Talbot is looking for some relief while helping out at his brother's detective agency. But when Addison Fox walks in, he can't resist her plea for help—even though her case is murder . . .

Addison is the sole survivor of her bloodline—a line that a killer is determined to make extinct. And even if the world-weary Randall has little regard left for life, he may be the only man capable of saving hers . . .

About Linda Castillo

American author, and Ohio born, Linda Castillo, chose the thriller genre as the style of her novels. She penned her first novel at the age of thirteen. A bit surprising, Castillo chose Ohio Amish country as the setting for her debut novel, "Sworn to Silence", which began her Kate Burkeholder series. She then added some romance and romantic thriller novels.

Castillo has had thirty books published by three different New York publishing houses. Her books have won her several awards, including the prestigious Rita award. She has also been on the NYT best seller's lists and the USA Today lists as well as recognized internationally.

Castillo enjoys trail riding and barrel racing in her free time. She lives with her husband and pets in Texas.

Let me start by saying I love, love, love Ms. Castillo's Kate Burkholder mysteries. I hoped (or assumed) this would be a similar type book.

Decent romantic/suspense book but dated. Seemingly smart woman who acts foolishly and has to be rescued by the strong hero. The mystery portion was pretty good. A bit of the romance a bit cliched.......more

Goodreads review by Megan on June 02, 2024

I’ve followed Linda Castillo’s books back when she wrote the Harlequin stories. I think she writes characters with flaws and I love that. No one comes across as perfect in her books. Relationships are messy and they love each other regardless. I noticed reviews were not high with this storyline but......more

Goodreads review by Amy on February 12, 2019

I found this to be an enjoyable, gripping romantic suspense. The intensity and grittiness (of both the mystery and the romance) are reminiscent of Linda Howard. Addison is reluctantly attracted to Randall Talbot but is forced to trust him as those closest to her begin to die and she knows that the k......more
