Five years ago Allison James made the mistake of her life. She
married Harrison Armone, scion of a major crime family. At first
things seemed perfect, but as Harrison challenged his father for
control of the operation life became constrained to the point where
she was almost a prisoner. Armone Senior didn’t take his son’s
defection well. He shot him and Allison was a witness. She fled and
is now in witness protection waiting to testify against her
father-in-law.
Before she married
Harrison, Allison was in love with Jaxson Stevens. She wanted to
finish school, and he left her to pursue his dream of being a US
Marshal. Due to an accident, he’s now the marshal assigned to keep
her safe. Allison can’t stand the idea that he might be harmed.
Does this mean she’s still in love with him?
This story is the
perfect blend of romance and suspense. The attraction between Jaxson
and Allison is palpable, but danger is all around them. The action
moves quickly and keeps you on the edge of your seat while wondering
whether Jaxson and Allison will acknowledge their feelings for each
other.
This is the fifth
novel in the Winchester, Tennessee series. Although some of the
characters have been in other books, the author does a good job of
threading the backstory through the action so that it can be read as
a standalone. If you love suspense laced with romance, this is a good
one.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
