Dr. Ellie Sullivan has just completed her residency at a large urban hospital. While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooter’s face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation.Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, he’s definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet she’s attracted to him in a way she can’t explain.
Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sister’s wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor: Max Daniels. The Landrys have been captured, and she’ll be called to testify. But they’ve been captured before, and each time the witnesses are scared into silence-or disappear before they can take the stand. Max vows to be Ellie’s shadow until the trial, and it isn’t long before sparks fly.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a new Julie Garwood and though I’m too chicken to read them (I have all of her new books but I haven’t touched them yet), it doesn’t keep me from wanting them. Garwood’s got a new book coming out August 9, 2011 so mark your calendars, I’m sure it’s going to be a must have! =) It sounds like it would be a good one and it’s already on my TBB list!
This book is available from Dutton Adult. You can pre-order it here.
Hey. I just read this ark and it was a great book! Not what I usually read but I love Julie Garwood. I own all her books.
I have enjoyed several of Julie Garwood’s contemporaries and this RS sounds right up my street. I am a paperback kinda gal so I will have a bit of a wait since ‘The Ideal Man’ is being released in h/c first…darn!
Interesting!
I read a m/m romance Zero At The Bone – almost same story but with men. It was so… so very good!
hmmmm
