Arden Bowie is a newly published author who is riding the high of sales, book signings and the adoration of fans. When she meets Dustin at one of her book signings, she thinks nothing of it – grateful for every fan, she signs the books he’s purchased and engages him as she does the others. But as her signings and autograph sessions continue, Dustin appears at every one, until an unprovoked attack sends Dustin to prison and Arden across the country to make a new start.
Years pass, Arden’s work flourishes, and she is happier than she’s ever been, renovating her new home & finding new love with Gideon, as she puts down roots, slowly putting the attack and Dustin’s obsession behind her.
However, back in the Midwest, Dustin has not forgotten Arden. As he plays the role of a benevolent, remorseful patient in the psychiatric facility where he’s being housed, he secretly plans his life after release – and his first objective is to find Arden…
Nora Roberts is one of those authors whose work I’ll purchase sight unseen – her books are THAT GOOD – and this stand-alone novel was no exception!
