    About this audiobook

    In a “sexy, suspenseful read,” #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers “a slow-burning fuse of a plot that ultimately explodes in a nail-biting conclusion.”*

    Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her illusions…

    The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt. He was an adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his safe-deposit box, she finds multiple IDs. The man she loved wasn’t just dead. He never really existed.

    Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband had secrets she has yet to discover. Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows—and threatens Griff, as well. And an attempted murder is only the beginning...

    • 5/5
      This is one of the best books I've ever listened to.
    • 4/5
      As always another winner from NR. You know a book is good when you can’t stop reading or listening. This was one of those books. Grabs you and doesn’t let go. Narration superb!!!!
    • 5/5
      A liar whom Shelby didn't even know; her husband lied to her about everything, wanting a child, loving her. Then when he died in an accident she found he had owed millions. An absorbing read, a story told as Nora Roberts does so well. Intrigue, relationships, family and love. I enjoyed this story very much.
    • 3/5
      The last words of the chapters are skipped. That sucked. The story is good and the reading was great.
    • 3/5
      Nora Roberts is my favorite author. I have read so many of her books and never came across any expletives. So I was very disappointed to get this one in audio and had to listen to that barrage of what was for me offensive language. Now I am wondering if I should read any more of her books. I was truly disappointed.
    • 3/5
      I'd give this more than three stars, but it was just a little bit too 'sweet' for my taste in romantic suspense. That said, it was well written, with good character development and suspense.
    • 5/5
      Another good one!! Could not stop listening as her books draw you in. Lovely story and great characters. Brilliant!!
    • 3/5
      At times frustrating, predictable and forced, but in general an enjoyable, easy, summer read.
    • 4/5
      Very enjoyable book even though the ending was predictable. Woman discovers after her husband's death that he wasn't who she thought he was and left her millions of dollars in debt. She starts selling off all their belongings to pay down the debt and discovers a safety deposit box key. She finds a box with money and several identities. She and her 3 yr old daughter head back home to Tennessee and family to start over again but the old follows her.
    • 4/5
      As always, Nora Roberts has come up with another winner. It was a good story with engaging characters. However, it seemed as though this was the first of one of her trilogies rather than a stand alone story. It was easy to see that the supporting characters could have had their own books. The romantic suspense was fairly limited, but still this was a good stand-alone story.
    • 5/5
      Very good romantic suspense. It always seems that Roberts knocks it out of park. The only thing that bothered me a little was that Shelby seemed a little like a Mary Sue but I liked that she didn't panic and saved herself from the villain, not just waiting to be rescued.
    • 4/5
      Nora Roberts continues to impress me with her ability to make characters that seem real and engaging, even in the midst of mysteries that are intense and fantastical (not necessarily unreal, but the kind of things that happen to Other People). Sure, one of the big reveals at the end of this book was not really a surprise, but that didn't detract from the amazing people in the story the rest of the time. I do think some of the mystery ran on a little long, and I was glad when we got the HEA part, which was why I didn't give the book 5 stars. Other than that, another fine work from a consistently good author who never fails to make me laugh and cry along with her characters.
    • 4/5
      Really enjoyed this book. Just enough suspense and romance.
    • 4/5
      Another great book from Nora Roberts. I figured out the husband was still alive. The heroine showed a lot of strength in her character.

      The book was pretty predictable, but was still a good story.
    • 2/5
      Apr 28, 2016I have never been a Nora Roberts fan and reading this book told me why. The plot is weak and the red herrings, I'm sure, will not fool anybody. If you have a day or two in which to read a light book and nothing else handy sure pick this one up otherwise move on.
    • 4/5
      I did get some of the twists and turns of the plot quite early on but this was more about the romance between Shelby and her home town of Rendezvous Ridge in Tennessee and the romance between carpenter Griffin Lott, her relationship with her family and a past that won't let her go.It was bad enough for Shelby that her husband had died but then she discovered that he had left her nothing but debts, she leaves the house she has to sell and moves home to her family and finds that maybe love isn't gone. Then it appears that his debts weren't the only thing Richard hid.I enjoyed it.
