Synopsis

An unconventional woman and a man shrouded in mystery walk a tightrope of desire as they race against a killer to find a top secret invention before it's too late. Former trapeze artist Amalie Vaughn moved to Burning Cove to reinvent herself, but things are not going well. After spending her entire inheritance on a mansion with the intention of turning it into a bed-and-breakfast, she learns too late that the villa is said to be cursed. When the first guest, Dr. Norman Pickwell, is murdered by his robot invention during a sold-out demonstration, rumors circulate that the curse is real. In the chaotic aftermath of the spectacle, Amalie watches as a stranger from the audience disappears behind the curtain. When Matthias Jones reappears, he is slipping a gun into a concealed holster. It looks like the gossip that is swirling around him is true-Matthias evidently does have connections to the criminal underworld. Matthias is on the trail of a groundbreaking prototype cipher machine. He suspects that Pickwell stole the device and planned to sell it. But now Pickwell is dead and the machine has vanished. When Matthias's investigation leads him to Amalie's front door, the attraction between them is intense, but she knows it is also dangerous. Amalie and Matthias must decide if they can trust each other and the passion that binds them, because time is running out.

Goodreads review by Katie on March 19, 2019

This is the third book in the Burning Cove series and while some characters from previous books are part of this story, you could read this as a standalone novel.

Tightrope by Amanda Quick Burning Cove series #3. Historical romantic mystery / suspense. Late 1930’s. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series for background appreciation.

Tightrope is the third book in the Burning Cove series. While I’ve read the first book, The Girl Who Knew Too Much, also, I think Tightrope can be read as a standalone. Amalie Vaughn is a former trapeze artist. Her move to Burning Cove is for a fresh start. She spends her inheritance on a mansion wi......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on September 21, 2019

This is third in a series, but you don't really need to read the others first. I recommend that you do for two reasons. First, Luther and Raina play a larger role in this one than they have in the others and it's nice having their full history. Second, the other books are a bit better, I think, and......more
