On the run from unknown enemies…
Survival lies in exposing the truth.
Emily Graves left everything behind to save her aunt's struggling bed-and-breakfast, but she's hardly through the door before she's held hostage by a gunman. Someone will go to any lengths—even murder—to keep her from making the B and B a success. Sheriff's deputy Archer Reed has made it his personal mission to bring down the culprit. But first he has to convince Emily to accept his protection…and determine why anyone would want to harm her. As Emily's unknown enemy becomes increasingly violent, Archer may be the only person who can keep her alive.

Susan Sleeman
Susan Sleeman writes the kind of romantic suspense that makes you double-check the locks—and maybe fall a little for the hero.
Her clean, high-octane stories are packed with danger, heart, and just enough faith to light the darkest corners.
With over sixty novels, multiple awards, and more than two million books sold, she knows a thing or two about keeping readers on the edge of their seats—and her FBI and police citizen academy training doesn’t hurt either.
These days, she calls Oregon home, where she juggles plotting crimes and spoiling grandkids.
