Synopsis
A stalker has destroyed Christie Pratchett's life. He's stolen her job, her friends and her freedom. The police can't help her, the private detectives are useless. She's done everything she can to save herself, to stop the madman. Nothing has worked.
From out of the shadows comes Boone Ferguson, a soldier who's under the radar, a man with a secret that could cost him his life. He's going to train Christie to become a warrior...and his lover. Together, they're going to risk it all, on the street and in the bedroom.

July 01, 2006: Romantic suspense/action is my favorite sub genre and CLOSER delivers an abundance of spine-tingling suspense and red-hot passion, wrapped up nice and neat in a bow of undeniable attraction that you just know will lead to a delicious romance. Christie Pratchett?s life has practically been pulled out from under her by a stalker whose relentless pursuit has caused her to lose her job, her friends, and terrorizes her enough to hold her prisoner in her own home. Out of sheer desperation, Christie calls a number left by her late brother, and his friend Boone Ferguson enters her home and her life. Boone is determined to find Christie?s stalker and eliminate the fear that has taken over her life. Boone?s appearance also brings the characters of Seth and Kate to the story, who will be featured in Jo Leigh?s upcoming Blaze, RELENTLESS, scheduled for release in November, 2006. There is a twist at the end of this book that I didn?t expect, and I anticipate where it will take up in Ms. Leigh?s next book. This book is available now if you enjoy the Blaze line, be sure to get your hands on it. If you haven?t read a Blaze recently, I hope you?ll choose CLOSER to reintroduce yourself to the line, you won?t be disappointed.
