    Synopsis

    In her trademark blend of romance and suspense, Jackson tells the story of a family with long-buried secrets that come to light when the father runs for governor of Oregon. As a handsome journalist probes the family scandal, one of three sisters is drawn into his embrace and into a passion that could destroy her.

    Publishers Weekly

    In a letter to readers, Jackson (Cold Blooded, etc.) declares this a "spanking brand new edition" of her 1999 romantic suspense novel, complete with new twists and a new ending. As such, it should generate plenty of excitement among her fans, but new readers may be put off by the book's overabundance of sex and violence. After being approached to run for Governor of Oregon, Dutch Holland vows to lay the skeletons of his past to rest. He soon learns, however, that they won't go away so easily. Sixteen years earlier, his rival's younger son, Harley Taggert, was murdered, and Dutch believes one of his own daughters may have been responsible. Now, journalist Kane Moran has returned home to crack open the case and write a book about it, despite the fact that his actions may hurt his old crush, single mom Claire Holland, Dutch's daughter. Harley's brother, Weston Taggert, a typical animal-abusing sexual deviant, also hates Dutch and would do anything to discredit the Hollands. The relationship between Kane, a lowborn, abused bad boy, and the unreachable, well-off Claire follows a familiar path, but the pages practically sizzle when they're together. Stock secondary characters and predictable family dramas leech away some of the suspense, but Jackson livens up her story with a final, dizzying twist. (Sept.)

    A reviewer, Avid mystery book reader, 06/03/2008

    I just finished this book and it took me nearly a week to read. I just couldn't get into this one like the others. The ending was a surprise, I thought the killer of Harley Taggert was someone else.I had 2 people picked out that I thought might be the one. Usually I keep my books and reread them later, but this isn't going to be one of them. I guess I'm more into the serial killer type books.

    This was an awesome book, a real page turner. Loved the past/present story lines. L.J. has proven once again why she is a best selling author. You can't help but be drawn in by this book.

    Also recommended: Any other romantic suspense by Jackson as well as her McCafferty series. J.R. Ward's black dagger brotherhood series. Lora Leigh's SEAL or breed series.
